Dinners Ready offers three convenient ways to enjoy a variety of meals: they can make the meals for customers, chosen from a list of selections; customers can make the meals themselves if they prefer, by visiting a Dinners Ready location, and receiving a discount; or customers may Grab N’ Go, simply stopping by a participating location and picking up pre-assemble meals to cook at home. It’s simple, it’s convenient, and it’s affordable. Dinners Ready.
