While You’re in Lodi…
Hungry? The shop’s favorite restaurant is Moxie’s Grille, which is less than a mile from the shop. On the square in Lodi you will find pizza, sandwiches, and a coffee shop. Other food choices are available at the Lodi exit of I-71, including a Bob Evans and numerous fast food eateries.
Speaking of the Lodi Town Square, it is a beautiful place for a picnic, a walk, or to take a break from the road while enjoying a cup of coffee. Want to explore a little more while you are here? Among other things, the square is home to a bookstore, antique store, and the world’s best hardware store (according to Cathy.).
