And oh those spices! And Resist T shirts. I always get a shout out when I wear mine to a protest. It has a bleeding heart on it.

was a Resist t-shirt.

I just picked up a blanket at half price from them.

And oh! the wonderful smell when you walk in the store!

Great progressive company, and their shop smells wonderful.

They just did a bogo blanket sale, with 2nd blanket going to a needy perzon in MN.

and they donated a blanket to the needy for every purchase!

Penzeys is the best company! We could use a lot more just like them.

Do you love yours?

Enjoy!

Thx for sharing!

I haven't opened it up yet but it's very colorful.

I donated 4.

to request the option that they managed to set it up the next day.

I was so glad Ididn't get around to ordering the first day so that I was able to donate all of them.

You're a good person!

When they have the sample packs on sale, I donate them to a local social services group who do amazing work with the unhoused.

And,, of course, everything makes fabulous gifts.

I splurged on their double strength vanilla this year for my Christmas baking. OMG! It took my Orange-Cranberry Bread to a whole new level. I’m never going back.😀

Today's, for MLK Day, is wonderful. The ones for what is going on in Minneapolis, etc., were heartbreaking and hopeful.

I'm not always sure about the correct forum, even after all this time.

you would have to do if you switched forums is simply copy and paste.

Remember his fit when VPOTUS Harris visited one of the stores?

got curious about their business. I looked them up online and I was hooked. And I don't even do much cooking!

It’s always beneficial to know who the good guys are.

Although I think this post is fine right where it is.

have missed it.

We don't have a Penzeys On the Island so I have never been in their Store.. but have read about how wonderful they are on DU over the years.. and on this Forum.

I just searched them and they have a "About Republicans" on their "About Us" page. Penzeys is Amazing!

Makes great gifts. I got a gc from my daughter.

order from a Penzey's catalogue in 1994. Kept doing that until I was able to order online. They opened a retail store in Overland Park, KS, about eight miles from my house, and I've been shopping there ever since. Coarse ground black pepper is the best there is.

a brief time, we had a store here. Alas, it is no more . Thank goodness for mail order!

When I was visiting my cousin in OR last year, we went to visit the Hillsboro store. I was just overcome with emotion while I was there. This company…this store…these are my people. My parents were Penzey’s customers back in the day and they’ve been gone for many many years. I know it sounds silly but it just felt so darned good to be in that place. It felt safe. The cashier noticed my tears and she gifted me their “Choose Love” yard sign when I checked out.

It sounds like such a good experience for you. I'm glad. And I'm not surprised at the kindness of the cashier; they hire some good people there.

Thank you for sharing your story with us!

Super high quality, and a great company to do business with.

When they had their downtown Seattle store I was in there just about every Thursday. When that closed they had one in Lynnwood for a while but that also closed, so now it's all mail-order for us. The vast majority of my spice drawer and cabinet are Penzey's, and I buy the most-used items in the bulk bags, like Italian Sausage seasoning, Bavarian, Granulated Garlic Powder (tastes very close to fresh garlic, without that 'toasted' flavor that most garlic powder has).

Definitely, sign up for their email list if you haven't already. Great messaging along with some very good deals.
