Lemon Tree Grocer's Next Contest!!

Here goes: Starting this coming Monday (7/25) until Friday (7/29)- when you come into Lemon Tree Grocer you must find at least 4 items that have the word "Lemon" in them.

There's 11 products with the word "Lemon" in them, and we only want you to find 4 of them to get 10% off your entire grocery purchase. So, give yourself a bit of extra time to have a glass of wine or a beer, bring a friend, and start hunting for the "Lemon" products! How many winners do you think we'll have?

Lemon Tree Grocer's Newest Charity: American Cancer Society!

So, Lemon Tree Grocer is welcoming the month of July in; which hopefully means a lot more sun annnnnnnnd a new charity we're giving our hard earned To-Go tips to: American Cancer Society!

As we bring in the American Cancer Society we would like to thank Evan's Life Foundation (which helps at-risk youth)! We raised $550 for them, and we hope to continuously raise more money for each charity as we venture forward on this amazing journey!

How do we pick our charities you ask? Well it's simple: Deanna came up with this fabulous idea, so she went first. Then we'll go through the entire Lemon Tree staff, Zest staff, etc. Who knows- maybe we'll even have a contest for our Lemon Tree fans to choose a charity in the long run!

Until then, just know every time you show appreciation at the To-Go counter this month American Cancer Society will benefit! We'll be sure to keep you posted on the charities to come at the Lemon Tree Grocer!
