Park Ridge Trading Company, a gourmet kitchen goods store in the heart of historic Ellicott City, Maryland, was founded by Julia and Donna Sanger. Known for its carefully curated selection of high-quality products, the store offers loose teas, imported olive oils, gourmet foods, and unique kitchen tools. In addition, Park Ridge Trading Company is proud to feature over 25 women-owned brands, showcasing an array of handcrafted goods, artisanal treats, and eco-conscious kitchen essentials.

Over the years, the Sangers have faced significant challenges due to catastrophic flooding in Ellicott City, which devastated their store in both 2016 and 2018. Despite these setbacks, Julia and Donna demonstrated remarkable resilience by rebuilding and reopening each time. Their dedication extends beyond their business—they have been active advocates for flood mitigation measures to protect their town, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding Ellicott City's historic charm and community.

Park Ridge Trading Company is more than just a store; it’s a symbol of perseverance and community spirit. By offering high-quality, thoughtfully chosen products and supporting women entrepreneurs, Julia and Donna have created a welcoming space that reflects their passion for food, sustainability, and local connections.
