The Breakroom

Just when you think you’ve seen every way to use The Breakroom, along comes a reserve repack for local paragliders with Astro Paragliding, led by Heather and Harrison.

Astro Paragliding is Central Oregon’s go-to for instruction, gear, guided trips, and tandem flights—with a mission to make the sport safer and more accessible while sharing a deep love of free flight. From Pine Mountain to skies across the region, they’re helping pilots build skill, confidence, and community.

At The Breakroom, there’s room for all kinds of gatherings—yes, even this one.

Looking for a unique space for your next event, class, or meet-up? Reserve The Breakroom and make it your own.

Rock, paper, scissors… how do you show up for the people around you?

We recently hosted a staff training with Coaching Peace Consulting LLC, led by Diana, focused on building stronger team culture through empathy, connection, and collaboration.

At The Breakroom, it’s not just about gathering—it’s about creating space for conversations that matter, growth that sticks, and teams that thrive.

Looking for a place to host your next training, workshop, or team event? The Breakroom is designed to flex with your needs and bring people together in meaningful ways.

Reserve your space and start planning.

❄️ A Holiday Love Note from our Fearless Leader ❄️❄️

Central Oregon, you are our home and we are grateful to have had your love and support throughout 2025 every time you chose to shop with us. What a year we are wrapping up and frankly, 2026 is set to be a doozy, with big news coming soon. Until the new year, with your help, we have some giving to do!

Our Food For February giving campaign is here! Reminder that we match customer donations at the register in the month of December, up to $32,500. You, our friends, neighbors and visitors have the opportunity to double your giving dollars this holiday season. Your hard earned money you so generously give to fight hunger in Central Oregon stays right here at home and helps our neighbors. The beneficiaries of your giving use the donated money to purchase food at wholesale price to fill their kitchens and pantries.

✨Newport Ave. Market, Family Kitchen is the recipient, we will match up to $20,000 in customer donations.
✨Oliver Lemon’s Sisters, Sisters Kiwanis is the recipient, we will match up to $5,000 in customer donations.
✨Oliver Lemon’s in Terrebonne, Family Kitchen is the recipient, we will match up to $5,000 in customer donations.
✨Ollie’s Kitchen in Redmond, Family Kitchen is the recipient, we will match up to $2,500 in customer donations.

The only way we can give is because people choose to shop with us. We are a 100% Employee Owned Company and when you shop with us, you keep your money in Central Oregon AND allow us to give generously to our community.

To our nonprofit recipients, the good-doers in our community, the volunteers that give of their time, talent and resources; Thank you for all you do to ensure everyone has access to good food. Everyone deserves a meal, regardless of circumstance.
From myself and my colleagues at all of our locations; Newport Ave. Market, Oliver Lemon’s in Sisters & Terrebonne and Ollie’s Kitchen in Redmond a big, heart-felt thank you. Thank you for bringing such joy to our aisles with your continued support not just of us, but our neighborhoods in Central Oregon.

With love and gratitude,
Lauren
