Holiday cooking and cheer was spread throughout Lee’s
Marketplace in Logan, Utah on Thursday night. Lee’s hosted the event “Celebrate the Season”
to promote holiday foods with special sales. Customers
crowded around the
entrance to get out of the cold and enjoy the food.
“This is to kick off
the holiday season and invite people to come to our store,” said Landon Wiley,
Logan store director.
Food sample tables were set up around the store while
customers filed through and sampled each dish. Meats, cheeses, roasted peanuts,
and artisan breads from the bakery were some of the various samples.
“We expect two to three thousand people throughout the
night,” Wiley said.
As customers shopped, they could win prizes by answering trivia
questions or entering raffle ticket drawings.
“This is a great way to bring together the community,” said
Carolyn Hardy, who was at the event and is a frequent Lee’s shopper. “I don’t
know any other supermarket that does this.”
Lee’s Marketplace is based in Cache Valley and sells numerous
local products.
“We pride ourselves in our wide selection of local Cache
Valley and Utah products,” Wiley said. “We make things in store as well.”
Cox Honeyland honey, Caffe Ibis Coffee, Pepperidge Farm, and
Gossner cheese are some of the numerous local products that are offered.
Lee’s recently has partnered with Gossner Foods and now is
making its own cheese products.
