🍤✨ JUNE’S PASTA SPECIAL ✨🍷

A new month means a brand-new Wednesday pasta feature at The Ole Store! Starting this Wednesday, June 3rd, join us for a bright and summery favorite. 💙

🍤 Tequila-Lime Shrimp Pasta
Linguine tossed with marinated shrimp, bell peppers, and fresh cilantro for a fresh, zesty pasta perfect for summer evenings.

And don’t forget—Wednesdays also mean:
🍷 Half-Priced Bottles of Wine

We recommend pairing this month’s pasta with a chilled glass (or bottle 😉) of Rosé.

✨ June Drink Special: The Al Fresco ✨
Libélula Joven Tequila, house-infused lime & agave steeped with jalapeños and cucumbers for three days, finished with a spicy Tajín rim. Crisp, refreshing, and just the right amount of heat. 🌶️🍋

Not drinking? You can also enjoy the Al Fresco as a delicious NA cocktail!

Perfect for date night, catching up with friends, or simply treating yourself midweek. 🍝☀️

🥪✨ THE SCHNITZ ✨

Have you tried our Pork Schnitzel sandwich yet? Don’t sleep on this one—it’s quickly becoming a favorite at The Ole Store. 💙

We take Fischer Farms pork chops, tenderize them into schnitzel, coat them in crispy breadcrumbs, and fry them to golden perfection. Then we top it all off with our house-made lingonberry aioli and a fresh arugula & fennel slaw for the perfect balance of crunchy, tangy, and savory.

It’s bold, comforting, and packed with flavor in every bite. 🤤

You can enjoy The Schnitz at Lunch, Dinner, or outside on Lena’s Lawn, so make plans to give it a try next time you join us!

☀️ LENA’S LAWN IS OPEN! 🌿

Outdoor dining season has arrived at The Ole Store, and Lena’s Lawn is officially ready for you to enjoy all summer long. 💙

This year, we’re moving away from QR code ordering and returning to a more personal touch. When you join us on the Lawn, simply grab a table first come, first served, then head inside to order with our Host. We’ll continue delivering your food & drinks through the window—it’s one of our favorite ways to say hello and see everyone enjoying the outdoor space. 😊

Lena’s Lawn is perfect for:
🌿 Families looking for a casual dining spot
🍹 Friends meeting for drinks on a summer evening
🐶 Guests bringing along their leashed pups

And while you’re out there, you can watch our community garden continue to grow through the season. 🌱

We can’t wait to welcome you outside!

🍝✨ LAST CHANCE FOR MAY’S PASTA SPECIAL ✨🍷

This Wednesday is your final chance to enjoy our May Pasta Special before a brand-new feature arrives next month! 💙

When you join us on Wednesdays at The Ole Store, you get two great specials:
🍝 A monthly pasta feature
🍷 Half-priced bottles of wine

This month’s pasta highlights ditalini, the tiny “little thimble noodle” that makes every bite extra satisfying.

🌿 Margherita Pasta
Pesto, chicken, parmesan, roasted tomatoes, and chickpeas tossed with ditalini pasta.

We recommend pairing it with a bottle of our Pinot Grigio for the perfect midweek dinner. ☀️

Need modifications? We can easily prepare this dish dairy-free or vegan—just ask your server!

Make your Wednesday plans with us before this pasta disappears! 🍝✨

🌱 IT’S GARDEN SEASON 🌱

Last year, Margie—our dear friend and gardener at The Ole Store—brought forward the idea of growing vegetables in our Lawn area. But not for the restaurant. Every veggie grown will be donated to the Community Action Center’s food access programs to help support neighbors in need. 💙

Margie and her husband Pat planted garlic last fall, and this season we’ll be growing tomatoes, peppers, onions, herbs, and more to share with the community.

This project wouldn’t be possible without the generosity and hard work of Margie & Pat, along with our friends at Seeds Farm and Organic Compound for donating plants to help us get started. It feels good to be surrounded by people who care deeply about community and food access. 🌿

We may not grow a massive harvest, but we hope our efforts inspire others to find ways—big or small—to support their local food shelf and neighbors in need.

We are still collecting cash donations at our Host desk, and every time you join us for Lunch, Brunch, or Dinner, you help support community-centered projects like this one.

Thank you for growing alongside us. 🌱💙

💙 OLE ROLLS: A LONGTIME TRADITION 💙

At The Ole Store, some things never go out of style—and our famous Ole Rolls are one of them.

Made fresh in our kitchen, these rolls have been an Ole Store staple for more than six decades. While our menu has grown and evolved over the years, this sweet tradition has stayed at the heart of what we do. ✨

And now that we’re baking Ole Rolls during lunch service, you can once again enjoy one any day of the week!

Warm caramel, pecans, and soft dough… whether it’s the start of your morning or the sweet ending to your meal, there’s just nothing quite like an Ole Roll. ☕🥐

Grab one to-go, or stay awhile with a coffee and something sweet. We can’t wait to serve you one soon. 💙

🥄 A hearty scoop of quinoa
🧀 Local Shepherd’s Way cheese

🍝✨ MAY PASTA SPECIAL ✨🍷

Wednesdays at The Ole Store mean two things you don’t want to miss: a new monthly pasta special and ½ priced bottles of wine. 💙

🌿 May’s Pasta Special:
Margherita Pasta
Pesto, chicken, parmesan, roasted tomatoes, and chickpeas tossed with ditalini pasta.

We recommend pairing this month’s special with a crisp glass (or bottle 😉) of our Pinot Grigio for the perfect midweek dinner.
