Meet Alexandra Bake, most recently of Books & Company

Alexandra Bake has been a very busy woman since she moved to Prince Edward County in 2003. She recently closed her beloved Olivia & Company antique bookstore to merge with friends from Books on the Bay. The trio formed Books & Company, which celebrated its grand opening on Picton’s Main Street in February. Alex has also been overseeing three other heritage building renovations in Picton’s mid-town and the building of condominiums in a heritage style, across from the new Books & Co. Together with her family members and business partners, Alex has become (accidentally, she says) a key investor in commerce and industry on Picton’s Main Street.
