DLM is a great option for last-minute needs, as they only ask for a 24-hour notice (for pies and sides) and you can even order on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. All DLM locations, EXCEPT for Oakwood, close at 11 p.m. The Oakwood branch closes at midnight on Wednesday, Nov. 21 before Thanksgiving. Visit their website for all the Thanksgiving specials information.
Locations: 2179 Far Hills Ave., Oakwood; 6177 Far Hills Avenue, Centerville; 740 N. Main St., Springboro
🦃2nd Street Market
The 2nd Street Market in downtown Dayton isn’t normally open on Wednesdays, but its vendors happily (well, mostly) make one momentous exception to the rule on “Stock-up Wednesday” the day before Thanksgiving. Shoppers can get quite literally everything they need for Thanksgiving dinner at the 2nd Street Market — a whole turkey, the makings for side dishes, breads, desserts (Oh LORD the desserts), and the decorations for the table and home. To contact the market, email marketinfo@metroparks.org or call (937) 228-2088.
In some cases, folks are going to want to, or need to, place their orders ahead of time for some specialty items. This week and weekend — Thursday and Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Saturday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. — offer ample opportunity to explore and place orders. Then on Wednesday, Nov. 21, the market will be open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for the purposes of stocking up for Thanksgiving. On the holiday itself on Nov. 23, the market will, of course, be closed.
