More than a Coffee Shop: Ancora Cafe + Bakery
Park Bank Community Spotlight
Eloise & Peas
When Tori Gerding bought Ancora in 2013, she wanted the cafes to feel like home. And thatâs because to Gerding, they were like home to her â she worked there right out of college before taking it over upon the original ownersâ (Sue and George Krug) retirement.
âI spent my first couple years trying to rebuild the brand into the vision I saw for it, which was a more modern cafe vibe with in-house bakery, a full brunch menu, craft lattes, and an upbeat, cheerful atmosphere,â said Gerding.Â
