About Erika's
Erika Grainger, baked her way out of her old location on Hwy 35 in Dwight, Erika’s Wildflour Bake Shoppe, beside the liquor store. It became obvious that she needed to have more room as the business grew. The previous Dwight Coffee Shop presented a great opportunity. Erika’s business to flourish. The Coffee Shop business complimented Erika’s natural talent for baking and the two businesses became one
Tanya Grainger (Erika’s sister) owned Baby Steps in Huntsville and Kathy Groh,
owned and operated Muskoka Country Furniture on Main Street. Baby Steps
was in the back half of the store where Muskoka Country Furniture
occupied the front half. As the lease became due on that building the
two ladies decided to merge their business and move on in with Erika’s.
This was a huge decision for Kathy Groh as she has been on the Main
Street of Huntsville for 18 years. However, discussion at great length
brought everything together under one roof with each of us contributing
and bringing different talents and experience to this one great
business.
Simone Grainger, mother of Erika & Tanya proudly works side by side with her girls. We are excited to serve you in whatever capacity is necessary and needed. You can even order that pizza to take home for supper.
