We're continuing to highlight women in business for our Small Business Spotlight, and this one is a shining star! We chatted with Erika Puckering who is the brains behind this aesthetic feast for the eyes... and the stomach that is Electric Diner!
Electric Diner we have a strong focus on family, community and Hamilton pride! We serve up classic comfort food with a modern spin – with a focus on breakfast, burgers, and playful cocktails and milkshakes. With a fun, 80’s inspired, neon-heavy aesthetic, Electric Diner provides a vibrant ambience fitting for all people – whether they want to relive their past, or experience a taste of the 80’s for the first time. Electric Diner started on George St, in Hess Village, and has since expanded with a second location in the historic Lister Block on James St. N. Electric Diner has just been awarded the 2023 Outstanding Business Achievement Award by the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce.
Co-founder and CEO of Save Ferris Hospitality – the parent company that owns both Electric Diner locations, Erika Puckering has been a restaurateur in Hamilton for over 7 years, and a mom for 8 years!
