Dream Dinners
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dream Dinners is a food preparation franchise operation based in Snohomish, Washington. It specializes in providing space for families to prepare meals ahead of time for freezing and cooking at home. There are currently 230 locations in 34 states in the United States. The company was founded by Stephanie Allen and Tina Kuna.
The concept of Dream Dinners is to give busy families the opportunity to prepare home-cooked meals ahead of time. Each month a fourteen-item menu is made available throughout the chain. The meals are purchased by servings. A medium size meal is (3) servings while a large size meal is (6) servings. Someone can come in for a public or private session to prepare these meals. All required ingredients are provided. The standard session provides all fourteen meals from that month's menu for around $225. Side dishes and salads for each meal are recommended but not provided. The cost per serving goes down the more servings you order for one session. Different franchise locations may offer their own discount offers.
Dream Dinners has been featured in the Oprah magazine.
Dream Dinners was profiled by the Food Network show Recipe for Success.
