New owner cooking up recipe for success at Carson City Dream Dinners
Dream Dinners in Carson City has new ownership. Stay-at-home mom turned entrepreneur Bonnie Betts, a longtime area resident and Dream Dinners guest, recently purchased the store.
"I had been coming to Dream Dinners for years as a customer, and was immediately interested in purchasing it when I learned it was for sale, and putting my experience to work," said Betts, who has a degree in retail management, and is also a consultant in economic development. "My focus is on delivering a value to the community, and showing families how Dream Dinners can help them achieve healthful, wholesome meals several nights a week without resorting to fast food. Not only it is healthier, but simply getting a time-starved family around the dinner table for a chance to connect is the true value behind what we offer."
Betts is the sole owner of her 1,300 square-foot Dream Dinners, part of a national meal assembly chain with more than 100 locations nationwide. The Carson City location, at 123 Clearview Drive, originally opened five years ago. Betts has six employees, and said she is thrilled that one of them is her daughter, and is eager to focus her skills on marketing, drawing from her retail background.
The Dream Dinners service works by providing a monthly selection of recipes, which guests choose among and then prepare all at once. All ingredients are gathered and pre-prepped by Dream Dinners, so guests simply assemble and take meals home to freeze. Dream Dinners does all the clean up.
