Father’s Day is this Sunday, June 16, and Dracut Economic Development happens to know that dads are pretty easy to please. It doesn’t take much.
But we’re here for you if you need some ideas without leaving the cozy confines of Dracut. We understand there’s not a lot of time between now and Sunday to plan some of these gifts, but don’t forget that gift cards to any of these establishments will also be appreciated.
- For instance, dads love breakfast. Dracut has several fine breakfast spots, both sit-down and takeout, including:
978 Café, 5 Hampson Street.
Bobola’s Family Restaurant, 1420 Lakeview Avenue.
Cleo’s Café, 1734 Lakeview Avenue.
Frobie’s Café, 101 Broadway Road.
Keith’s Kitchen, 1794 Bridge Street.
McDonald’s, 1260 Bridge Street.
M.L. Shaw’s Country Kitchen and Gifts, 14 Loon Hill Road.
Perfect Cup Café, 1086 Lakeview Avenue.
Wendy’s, 5 Arlington Street.
- While we’re at breakfast, some dads like to start their day with a doughnut or two (or three?)for breakfast, so you can bring them here:
One of Dunkin’s five Dracut locations, including 1777 Bridge Street, 177 Broadway Road, 1500 Broadway Road, 1373 Lakeview Avenue and 1198 Mammoth Road.
Heav’nly Donuts’ two locations in town – 1499 Broadway Road and 592 Merrimack Avenue.

- Some dads like to keep their car clean. They can do that at Dracut Car Wash, 20 Turgeon Avenue, or Soft Suds Car Wash, 1836 Bridge Street.
- Some dads like to grill, and you can’t go wrong with products from Brown and Budnick Meats, 1794 Bridge Street.
- Perhaps dad likes to putter in the garden. Almo’s Flower & Garden Center, 313 Willard Street, might be the place.
- Is dad a do-it-himselfer? If he needs to hang a TV or rods from an angled surface, point him to Angle Surface Bracket, www.anglesurfacebracket.com, 603-496-5228.
- Maybe a Dracut sweatshirt and paraphernalia will make him happy. Dracut Threads, 1595 Lakeview Avenue, can make his day.
- And, of course, if a thoughtful card is all he needs, don’t forget Cardsmart, 1140 Lakeview Avenue.
Happy Father’s Day from Dracut Economic Development!
