Welcome to Grove Station
Grove Station started with a simple goal: to create a place where people could come in, feel comfortable, and enjoy really good food made with care. Before Wetumpka, that idea took shape in Tallassee, Alabama, where we first opened our doors and became part of the everyday rhythm of the community.
In Tallassee, Grove Station grew into more than just a bakery and market. It became a place people stopped by for a glass of wine , picked up something fresh for lunch, or gathered with friends and family. We got to know our customers by name, learned their favorites, and built something that felt personal. Those early days shaped everything we are today. The focus was always on quality, consistency, and creating a space that felt warm and welcoming.
Now located on Company Street, our Wetumpka space carries that same heart from Tallassee, just with a little more room to expand and offer even more. You’ll still find the same fresh baked goods, prepared foods, and market items, but also a place designed for people to slow down, sit for a while, and enjoy being here. Whether you’re stopping in for something quick or staying to catch up with friends, we want it to feel easy and familiar.
We’re proud to now be part of downtown Wetumpka and everything that’s happening here. Grove Station is still the same at its core, just growing along with the community around it, and we’re glad you’re here with us.
Meet Corrie Sid
Corrie Sid, the owner of Grove Station, is originally from Tallassee, Alabama. After spending almost 30 years in California working in the tech industry, she returned home with a clear vision of creating spaces built around quality food, consistency, and a strong sense of community.
Back in Tallassee, Corrie began developing her own concepts, starting small and growing through local support and word of mouth. Her businesses quickly became places where people gathered regularly, helping her build a loyal following and a reputation for thoughtful, well-prepared food and welcoming environments. Today, she owns and operates three restaurant concepts: Grove Station in Wetumpka, Our Place Café in Wetumpka, and Café de Fleur in Auburn. Each location has its own style and personality, but all reflect the same attention to detail and commitment to creating welcoming spaces.
Corrie has always taken a hands-on approach, staying involved in everything from menu development to the overall feel of each space. Her focus has remained the same from the beginning: to create places that feel comfortable, consistent, and worth coming back to.
Opening in Wetumpka is a natural next step in that journey, allowing her to expand on what she built in Tallassee while becoming part of a growing and revitalized downtown community.
