Main Street Kent is working with local businesses to create take-home experiences for those more comfortable being at home than out in public these days.
From a chocolate tasting kit at Popped!, and a take-and-bake burrito kit at Taco Tonto’s, to a bubble painting kit at McKay Bricker Framing, you can order these special “kits” for pick-up every Wednesday through April 7. On St. Paddy’s Day, March 17, a special Rueben kit will be available at Franklin Square Deli!
A new offering will be launched with an instructional video each week.
“People are missing their local favorites and our businesses are struggling, so we want to bring authentic experiences into people’s homes, allowing them the opportunity to participate in the process,” said Main Street Kent executive director Heather Malarcik. “We’re hoping for a nice boost in business as spring approaches and things start to open up more. People need a break from the day-to-day, especially with spring just around the corner.”
Additional take-and-make experiences will be available from Belleria Pizza & Italian Restaurant, Empire, Erie Street Kitchen, GRAZERS (re-opening soon!), Red Letter Days, and Tree City Coffee & Pastry. Each weekly offering will be available for purchase directly through each business by phone or online ordering. Full details are available at the Main Street Kent website.
