Although Alexander Valley’s Jimtown and Then Sum market and deli opened two weeks ago<\/a> with coffee, morning pastries, sandwiches, salads and sushi rolls, owner Michelle Wood held off on adding her coveted dim sum to the roadside market’s menu \u2014 until now.<\/p>\n

This weekend, the revamped market will mark its official grand opening with a $70 dim sum plate from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. The meal includes six items from Wood\u2019s newly launched dim sum menu.<\/p>\n

“The menu will highlight our dim sum service and what is to come,” said Wood, who added that a limited selection of popular dim sum items will be available on weekdays.<\/p>\n

Throughout the weekend, the store will also offer a limited menu of coffee, pastries and grab-and-go items. On Saturday, Wood will serve a ticketed barbecue menu ($70) with assorted meats and sides. Jimtown will be closed Friday.<\/p>\n

Wood owns the catering company Dim Sum and Then Sum, known for its handmade Chinese dumplings, steamed buns and spring rolls inspired by family recipes. She purchased the property nearly 18 months ago<\/a> and formally took over the historic Jimtown Store from longtime owner Carrie Brown in late 2023.<\/p>\n

The store on Highway 128 first opened in 1893 as a post office, general store and gathering place for Alexander Valley residents.<\/p>\n

Jimtown’s modern era began in 1991, when Brown and her late husband, John Werner, took over the space. It became an offbeat destination for visitors, who enjoyed Brown’s eclectic collection of toys, candies and housewares. Locals came for the sandwiches, Brown’s famous Chain Gang Chili and neighborhood gossip.<\/p>\n
