📣 Pinocchio’s Pop-Up Update at Magnolia Mercantile 📣

We’ve got an important update to share with our amazing downtown lunch crowd!

Due to a recent increase in catering opportunities for our Pinocchio’s Culinary Team, we will no longer be offering a weekly pop-up menu at Magnolia Mercantile. As much as we’ve loved serving you every Thursday, our team has made the decision to shift back to a monthly pop-up schedule in order to better meet the growing demands of catering, kitchen space, and overall operations.

✨ Moving forward, Pinocchio’s will pop up at Magnolia Mercantile once a month on the THIRD Thursday of each month.

📅 Next Pop-Up Date: Thursday, June 18th

While we’ll miss our weekly visits, we are incredibly thankful for the continued support that has helped our program grow — and we can’t wait to keep serving you in new ways.

In the meantime, don’t forget that Magnolia Mercantile offers delicious snack and lunch options daily, and we encourage everyone to stop in and support them anytime you’re downtown!

Thank you for your understanding and for always supporting our Culinary Program.
