Trevor Luke, director of culinary operations, shows off a Zippy’s Thanksgiving package spread with some add-ons.
Fall has arrived in the islands. That means the holidays are right around the corner, and it’s not too early to start planning for Thanksgiving.
Zippy’s — known for the convenience of its delicious yet affordable local-style food — is now accepting pre-orders for its Thanksgiving Packages. With these take-home meals, which include whole and half turkeys with all the trimmings, you get the flavors you crave without the stress of cooking it yourself. If you prefer just the turkey or just the trimmings, Zippy’s still has you covered. Order online by Oct. 31 to save $30 off the regular price.
