Experienced Kimberley business folks Robin and Paul Dixon have jumped from home decor (remember The Gilded Goat?) to food. The couple opened The Grater Good in the Platzl last summer. The store is bursting with every kitchen item needed—from preparation to elegant entertaining.

Gift giving is made easy with a registry and gift cards available in store and soon to be available on the website, which also has a long list of brands carried.

“Cooking has always been a pleasure of mine,” said Robin. “People love to share food. It’s what brings everyone together.”
