Our Story
The Pot Rack opened its doors in Florence, Oregon in 1992 as the creation of Joann Freeland and Steve Abandonato. Ten years later, Joann and Steve moved the store to Jacksonville where they set up shop and flourished. That same year, Erika Bishop and her young family moved to Jacksonville. Erika had spent 25 years living in New York City and left her position as Executive Producer of the Food Network so her children could grow up in a bucolic small town. She was a frequent customer at the Pot Rack for 20 years and would routinely ask if she could buy the store. Her dream was realized in 2020 when Joann and Steve retired. Today, Erika brings her vast knowledge of kitchenware and cuisine to the community. She loves to write and share recipes which she does regularly at the shop. You can also find her recipes in her quarterly food column in Southern Oregon Magazine. And Erika and her foodie friend Will Smith host a food podcast on Oregon NPR.
Who would have thought Erika's passion for all things FOOD could be nurtured in such a tiny town?
Stop in and say hello! We'd love to meet you.
