"Best place to visit if you love Popeye like we do!!! They had probably every Popeye thing ever made! Great place to stop in and take a look around! The owners are super nice and willing to tell you about the items they have collected o er the years! Plenty of Popeye stuff to buy as well!!! This is a place we will never forget and we will come back cause my kids loved it! Free parking as well!"

"Wonderful shop in a fun town dedicated to the Popeye comic strip and its history, characters and creator. This shop has the full range of Popeye collectibles and a museum that is stock full and will leave you smiling. The lady we met that day managing the shop was very sweet and helpful. Nice experience!"

"If you love the Popeye cartoon, or just cartoons in general, you have got to stop here. It's a store and a museum, with information posted on the inside store walls about the history of the cartoons creator. There are thousands of items that you can look at, or purchase. And it's located in the old opera house where the creator of Popeye once worked. The owners are very knowledgeable about all things Popeye, and they're great to talk to. So go to Chester Illinois, find all the Popeye statues in town, and definitely stop at the Spinach Can Collection store. Jn316"

"We would have loved to gone inside but it was closed on Sunday. this was a pleasant surprise to see that Popeye had a home place in Illinois. Outside this cute store was a statue of Wimpy, murals painted on the side of the buildings, and cute little Popeye and Olive oyl cutouts for picture taking. We have to mention the memorials for our veterans. Nicely done"

"OMG... What a find! If you grew up watching Popeye like I did this is a must stop. Proprietors Mike & Debbie Brooks will rekindle old memories and introduce you to new tidbits possibly missed years ago... Did you know that Olive Oyl was actually the main character for many years AND engaged to one Harold Hamgravy before a charming sailor was introduced to the series that eventually won her heart along with those of the viewers. You see... You learn something every day! Check out the Popeye paraphernalia at Spinach Can Collectibles, get a T-shirt or two, then hit the streets of Chester, IL to track down the life size statues of the Popeye cartoon characters. Oh yeah, did I mention? Chester, IL is the hometown of Popeye... So, get off of your patooty, mosey on down to southern Illinois and check out all that is Popeye!!!"
