Make Dad Feel Like A King for a Day

June 8th 2026

Whether you’re a master planner or shopping at the last minute, Price Chopper makes it easy to celebrate the dads, grandpas, stepdads, uncles and father figures who mean so much to us.

Dad and son at the grill

From firing up the grill to planning a laid-back day he’ll actually enjoy, here are a few fresh ideas to help make Father’s Day memorable — and stress-free.

Fire Up the Grill

The way to Dad’s heart might just be through the grill.

Father’s Day and grilling season go hand in hand, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with premium Certified Angus Beef® steaks from Price Chopper. Treat Dad to juicy ribeyes, strips, filets and other grilling favorites during our Father’s Day steak sale featuring 25% off all grilling steaks.

Complete the feast with fresh seafood, chicken, chops, crisp produce and all the backyard barbecue essentials Dad loves.

Want to let him choose his own menu? A Price Chopper gift card is a simple way to give Dad the freedom to pick out his favorite cuts, sauces, rubs and grilling gear. For dads who love cooking or smoking meat, pair it with a favorite BBQ podcast, cookbook or grilling inspiration online.

Stock it and Forget About It!

One of the best gifts you can give a busy dad, grandpa or father figure is a little extra comfort and convenience.

Cook up some of his favorite meals and stock the fridge or freezer with ready-to-heat comfort foods he can enjoy anytime. From hearty casseroles to grab-and-go snacks, it’s a thoughtful way to show you care long after Father’s Day ends.

And don’t forget Dad’s beverage favorites. Fill the cooler or stock the bar with summer brews, refreshing drinks and patio-ready essentials for relaxing evenings all season long.

Art From the Heart

Homemade gifts never go out of style.

Kids and grandkids can create cards, crafts and artwork Dad will proudly display at home or at the office. Personalized aprons, framed photos and custom keepsakes make meaningful gifts that feel one-of-a-kind.

For grown-up kids, online photo gifts or a framed family memory can make Father’s Day feel extra personal.

Trade Lawns for Yawns

Give Dad the day off from chores.

Create a handmade “Lawn for Yawns” coupon and take care of the mowing, trimming or outdoor projects for him. Or surprise him with that new grill accessory, tool or yard gadget he’s been eyeing.

Sometimes the best gift is simply giving Dad time to relax and enjoy the day his way.

Plan a Dad Date

Spend quality time doing something he loves.

Take Dad out to the ballgame, book a tee time, plan a fishing trip or pack a picnic filled with his favorite snacks and sweet treats from Price Chopper.

Whether it’s a big outing or a simple afternoon together, the memories are what matter most.

It’s All in the Details 

If Dad loves his ride, surprise him with a little extra shine this Father’s Day.

Treat him to a professional car detailing service or gift him a car wash package he can use whenever he wants. It’s a thoughtful upgrade for dads who enjoy keeping their vehicle looking its best.

Movie Night, Dad Style

For dads who love action movies and summer blockbusters, plan a movie night built around his favorites.

Head to the theater for the latest big-screen adventure or create a backyard movie night complete with popcorn, snacks and comfy chairs. A projector, a few classic films and family time can turn into a Father’s Day tradition.

The Gift of Awareness

One of the most meaningful things we can do is lead with kindness, awareness and compassion for those who may find the day difficult. A thoughtful message, a small gesture or simply checking in can make any Dad or Dad figure feel appreciated.

From all of us at Price Chopper, here’s to the dads and father figures who make life better, funnier and full of love. Let’s make their day special.
