Main Street Kent is really working hard to entice people to its downtown business district to patronize the merchants there.
It’s creating a series of “take-home experiences” that let you pick up a “kit” and make it or bake it safely at home, available for pickup each Wednesday through April 7. They include a taco-making kit from Taco Tonto’s, a chocolate-tasting kit from Popped! and even a bubble-painting kit from McKay Bricker Framing. For St. Patrick’s Day, there’s a Reuben-making kit from Franklin Square Deli. Each will come with an instructional video you can access online. Belleria Pizza & Italian Restaurant, Empire, Erie Street Kitchen, GRAZERS, Red Letter Days, and Tree City Coffee & Pastry are also among the businesses offering the kits to go.
“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,” says MSK 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!”
