And let’s not forget the joy of the “dine-in for two” promotion. With these hours, you can buy the meal deal on a Tuesday evening and feel like you’ve accomplished something gourmet without any actual cooking. It’s a win-win—and the store becomes your partner in crime for effortless hosting.

Pro tip: the best time to go for a relaxed, uncrowded experience is around 8 PM on a weeknight. The shelves are still stocked, the staff are smiling, and you have the aisles almost to yourself. It’s like having a private shopping concierge.
