Let’s face it, grocery shopping with kids can be, well, frankly just a nightmare sometimes. I get it, trust me. I’ve done the late night solo trips, had things delivered, and done just about everything to avoid having to take them.
That is, until I found my secret weapon for grocery shopping success: Dorothy Lane Market.
This locally-owned store is filled to the brim with a variety of things you’ll love – like high quality produce, delicious house-made deli items, decadent desserts (I’m looking at you, Killer Brownies), in addition to all of your regular grocery needs.
Not only that, your little (and not-so-little) ones will be begging you to go to the grocery when you experience these five things that kids love about Dorothy Lane Market.
Free cookies! Head straight for the bakery for a sweet little treat. (Hint: if you do this first it’s keeps them occupied but you can also save it for last for bribery purposes…)
Free fruit too! Find the special Kid’s Club baskets marked with a sticker for a healthy snack while you shop.
Samples! DLM does not mess around with samples. Not only can you find plenty to munch on throughout the store, but your kids can also enjoy a free slice of meat or cheese at the deli!
Take a tour! If your kids are at 5 years old you can call to schedule a behind the scenes tour of the store, and it’s totally free! (And rumor has it that goodie bags are included.)
Events! Throughout the year DLM and their Kid’s Club hold events ranging from Mother’s Day cake decorating to the annual DLM Diaper derby! In addition to Kids’ Club Activities, they also have kids cooking classes and summer camps (require registration and payment) at the DLM Culinary Center!
Don’t miss the Mother’s Day Cake decorating event on May 11 at all DLM locations. For more information and specific times, visit the Facebook event page.
Plan to add a little spice to your summer with kids’ cooking classes and summer camps!
