Our Story
One Box. Everything You Need. Delivered Before the Party.
Planning a child's birthday party often means visiting several stores in a single day. One stop for the cake, another for pizza, a third for drinks, and then the party store for plates, napkins, and goodie bags. By the time everything is loaded into the car, the celebration itself can feel like an afterthought.
Lalo's Party Kitchen was created to change that. We bring the food, treats, drinks, and party essentials your child's celebration needs into one simple preorder, and we deliver it free of charge a day or two before the big day. There is no need to coordinate multiple stores or scramble at the last minute. Everything arrives in one box, ready in time for the party.
Our Story
Our story began in 2013 as Lalo's Lunchbox. In 2026, founder Ed Jenkins opened a new chapter with Lalo's Party Kitchen, built on a simple belief: childhood milestones are worth celebrating, and parents deserve to enjoy them too. Ed saw how much effort a single party could ask of a family and set out to bring it all together in one place.
The Name Behind the Brand
The name comes from Lalo, a character created to represent kindness, joy, and caring for others. Food has long been one of the ways we show love and bring people together, and that is the spirit behind every box we deliver. When a family gathers to celebrate, our goal is to make the day a little easier and a great deal more joyful.
Who We Serve
We are proud to serve families throughout the Twin Cities, including Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and the surrounding communities. Most of the families we work with are parents and caregivers of children between the ages of four and nine who are looking for a simpler way to host a wonderful party.
What Makes Us Different
What sets us apart is that we do more than drop off supplies. A bakery sells cupcakes, a pizza shop sells pizza, and a party store sells decorations. We bring all of it together, with free delivery before the celebration, so you can spend less time planning and more time making memories.
What we believe in
- Joy: Childhood milestones deserve fun, wonder, and a little magic.
- Care: We use food, celebration, and thoughtful service to help families feel supported.
- Simplicity: Everything you need for the party, gathered into one easy preorder.
- Relief: Less planning stress, so you can be present for the moments that matter.
- Reliability: Families can count on us to deliver exactly what they ordered.
- Quality: We choose food, treats, and party items that help create a celebration worth remembering.
- Connection: The best celebrations bring people together and leave everyone with lasting memories.
If you have a celebration coming up, we would be glad to help make it easy.
