How kids are learning to cook by following our easy to follow instructions.

Franchisee Testimonials "In 2003, my partner and I found Dream Dinners by chance and were enthusiastic about the prospect. As a woman-owned and operated, start-up business, I was drawn to its core values of food, family, and service. The company's simple, smart formula for meal preparation, the strong online business model, and the execution of said formula are what make the company special, unique, and indispensable. Everyone needs to eat, the dinners taste exceptionally good and easy to cook and folks need help getting dinner on the table. Solid, winning concepts." - Nicole Marefka, Owner Sunrise, FL "In the last 15 years, I've concluded that being an owner of a store is much like being a parent. There are ups and downs while taking care of your "baby", but it is totally worth it in the end. It takes a lot of hard work, dedication and commitment to be a Dream Dinners business owner, but the benefits from all that work have not only allowed me to provide for my family but also spend time with them at home and by participating in their school and outside activities. This quality time has been immeasurable for me." - Tania Monroy, Owner Pearland, TX "Being Dream Dinners franchisees for 15 years has been an incredible journey! It is so meaningful to be part of a company that cares so much about families, and as a businesswomen, selling a consumable product that everybody needs is smart business. We have been so blessed to be part of the Dream Dinners family!" - LeAnne Varenkamp, Owner San Jose, CA Growth Markets Dream Dinners is looking to serve more communities across the U.S. We are ready to expand into new growth areas and add additional stores to underserved markets.
