Hop Around the Shops & Easter Hours

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

Easter is coming and that can only mean one thing. Eggs and bunnies.  Well, that and chocolate. But Easter also brings one of our favorite Southport events: Hop Around the Shops.  The festivities are 12-4 this Sunday the 28th.  We’ll be handing out Easter Eggs with bite size deals inside and an adoptable dog from Chicago Canine Rescue outside to greet you.

The Chicago Canine Rescue helps those dogs (and cats) slated for euthanasia because they are too old, too young, too injured, have disabilities, or have simply been overlooked for too long by potential adopters at other shelters, helping more than 2,500 dogs & cats since founded 2001. They help find permanent homes for in-need animals of our city, and help make the sadly discarded animals healthy and ready for adoption.

For Hop Around the Shops, the stores all up and down the street will have something for the kids too!  From face painting to visiting with the Easter Bunny, everyone is sure to have a good time.  The press is fired up about it too from Daily Candy to Chicago Magazine to NBC5 to Time Out Chicago. Mark your calendar and bring the kids this Sunday for Easter fun!

As for Easter, the 4th, we are open our usual Sunday hours – from 8am – 4pm. Bring the family for a new brunch tradition of Bread Pudding Pancakes, or Grown Up Poptart!

Putting The Hop In Spring

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

Believe it or not…Spring is here and Southport Avenue is hopping into action!

On Sunday April 5th, Southport Merchants partner with Chicago Canine Rescue Foundation to present “Hop Around the Shops” an opportunity to adopt a dog from many of the shops along Southport including right here at the Grocery!  To help celebrate the day stop by for a $3 bloody mary’s & mimosas.
 
We hope to see you this Sunday. If not, remember we will be open on Easter so you can hop on in!

Stay Off The Grass…

…unless you’re gonna eat it! The Easter Bunny created Edible Easter Grass ($3.50) to line your Easter Baskets.

And what to hide in the Edible Easter Grass? How about Delectable Candy Edibles? Reigelein Confiserie Bunnies ($5.00) & Fran’s Gift Box of Milk Chocolate Bunny, Caramel Chicks, & Caramel Egg ($10.50) are two of our favorites.
The Easter Bunny Eats Grass…Why Not You?

Southport Grocery & Cafe has also created some Edible Easter Boxes ($6.50) of our very own. This limited supply is bursting with Jelly Bellies, Miniature Chocolate Bunnies &, of course, grass of the edible variety.

Stop in for Basket Stuffers or join us for Brunch on Easter Sunday. We’ll be open our regular hours (8am – 4 pm).

Have a Safe and Happy Easter!
