Homemade Flavors Arrive to Sturtevant

With RCEDC's Support Mrs. Rivers Bakery & Smokehouse Open Doors

Village of Sturtevant, WI – Lisa Rivers embarked on her entrepreneurial journey in 2022 to share her passion for preparing homemade food with others. Inspired by her childhood love of baking with an Easy Bake Oven, Lisa perfected her skills over the years by baking and cooking for family, friends, and co-workers. As her customer base grew, Lisa decided it was time to secure a fixed location for her business.

Lisa leased a vacant storefront in Sturtevant to open Mrs. Rivers Bakery & Smokehouse Cafe, offering scratch-made baked goods alongside smoked meats, sandwiches, soups, salads, and beverages. Lisa then contacted RCEDC to secure a loan and a matching grant to support the growth of the business. Both the loan and matching grant were funded by Sturtevant to support small businesses and beautify the Highway 11 commercial corridor. The loan allowed Lisa to buy equipment, and the matching grant covered a portion of the company’s advertising and business training expenses.

Opening Mrs. Rivers Bakery & Smokehouse Café has been a dream come true, and I couldn’t have done it without RCEDC’s support. The Village’s funding and RCEDC’s guidance helped turn my passion into reality, allowing me to create a space where the community can enjoy fresh, scratch-made food. I’m excited to share my love for cooking and baking and grow my business here in the Sturtevant/Racine Community.
