Celebrating a Decade of Excellence: PickNic's Catering, a Trusted Saskatoon Caterer
PickNic's Catering & Fine Foods has been a trusted name in Saskatoon for culinary excellence for over 20 years. As we celebrate them reaching their 10-year milestone with Trusted Saskatoon, we take a journey through their inspiring story of passion, dedication, and community involvement.
PickNic's Catering traces its roots back to April 2003, when it started operating as PickNic's Bakery and Bistro. It wasn't long before their delectable offerings gained a dedicated following. In 2004, they moved to 22nd Street East and rebranded themselves as PickNic's Restaurant and Fine Pastries, where they continued to delight patrons with their sumptuous pastries and exquisite dishes for the next five years.
In 2009, PickNic's embarked on a new chapter as they moved to 33rd Street West. With this transition, they redirected their focus towards event catering and crafting wedding cakes that would leave a lasting impression. This change in direction marked the beginning of a new era for the establishment, one that would see them become a cherished fixture in Saskatoon's catering landscape.
Nicola Lawson
At the heart of PickNic's Catering is the passionate and talented owner Nicola Lawson. Nicola's journey to Saskatoon was marked by many globetrotting adventures, working at various establishments worldwide within the food industry. Her travels eventually brought her to Saskatoon, where she decided to put down roots and share her culinary expertise with the local community.
Nicola is not just a culinary expert; she's also deeply involved in the community professionally and personally. Her engagement with numerous organizations and smaller community groups reflects her commitment to making a positive impact. As a mother of two girls, Nicola is equally passionate about shaping a bright future for them, emphasizing exposure to travel, language, diverse extracurricular activities, and multicultural events.
Krista Fehr
More recently, the dynamic Krista Fehr joined the PickNic's team. With over 25 years of experience in the foodservice industry and a Red Seal journeyperson cook, Krista brought some fresh energy to this culinary catering dream team alongside Nicola. Together, they've brought creativity and innovation to the business, enhancing its reputation for excellence.
What PickNic's Clients Say...
" It was absolutely fantastic to work with PickNic's. They've got an excellent system in place on the website, and even went above and beyond by taking the time to consult with me one on one. In the end the selections suggested were perfect for our gathering and the quality of food was superb. I highly recommend PickNic's... they're masters of food and customer service." - Warren Todosichuk
" PickNic'scatered our wedding, and OH MY GOD, IT WAS SOOO GOOD. Every single one of our guests raved about how good it was! Some even said it was better than their own wedding/weddings they had attended recently! Nicola and Krista and the gang made it super easy for us! From the dish rental to the bartending to the meal to the cake to the donuts, everything was absolutely perfect! And they made it so easy for our guests with allergies, intolerances, or dietary restrictions to navigate the buffet! The service was amazing from beginning to end. Worth every single penny! My only regret is that I didn't eat more (adrenaline and excitement made for a not super hungry tummy) or get any pictures of our meal, but that is, entirely, my own mistake. Thank you again! It was the happiest day and it was in part because of you and your team!" ❤️Krystina Micucci
Nicola & Krista Share What It Means To Be a Trusted Saskatoon Partner
"We are so proud to be an integral part of an amazing group of business owners that are as dedicated to quality, honesty and positive client experiences as PickNic’s Catering. "
A word from Sara, the Trusted Saskatoon founder, about her personal experience with PickNic's
"To be in business for 20 years with the ups and downs of the economy is hard enough, to have to then deal with Covid, which hit the hospitality and food industry particularly hard… and to have survived intact is a testament to Nicola, Krista and the PickNic’s team. A huge part of why they have been so successful comes from their passion, quality, service and commitment to striving to be the best caterer in Saskatoon. PickNic’s has catered many of my special events - personally and for Trusted over the last ten years. From smaller client and team meetings to significant milestone events, including my 40th birthday, where she knocked it out of the park with a British-themed menu that was the talk of the party! I have never been disappointed with the choices, food quality or fantastic personal service.” - Sara Wheelwright
PickNic's Catering is more than just a business; it's a respected household name in Saskatoon. Over the years, their commitment to quality, creativity, and community engagement has made them an integral part of the city's fabric.
In celebrating PickNic's Catering's 10-year milestone, we acknowledge their remarkable culinary achievements and their positive impact on Saskatoon and the communities they've touched. Here's to a decade of excellence and the expectation of much more to come as PickNic’s continues to lead the catering industry in Saskatoon and area.

“Your Jewellery Is A Lifetime Investment...Buy It From A Lifetime Friend"
A History To Be Proud Of
George Bateman opened G.W. Bateman Jewellers in October of 1945 at 122 20th Street East. George had recently returned home from overseas after serving six years in the Canadian Armed Forces during World War II as an instrument technician.
In 1948 after working at Bateman’s Jewellery Store Millie married George and In 1954 George opened a second store in the Senator Hotel on 21st street. In 1981 he opened a third location in Melfort. Bateman Jewellers reputation became the store with the largest assortment of diamonds and watches in Saskatoon and boasted the most up-to-date repair departments.
Fast forward to 1992 when George's daughter Marilynand her husband Ken, purchased Bateman’s from her father George. In 1995 the store moved to its current location on 2nd Avenue South. This gave them more space and they owned the building.
In February 2004 While travelling to a jewellery show in Edmonton with a coworker, Marilyn was involved in a serious car accident. Although she continued to work during her recovery, she found it difficult. Which led to them making the decision to sell the store with the intent to retire in B.C
Cam Kripki, the current owner, had been working for Bateman’s since 1991. Cam was eager to purchase the store from Marilyn given his education in gemology and watch repair. He appreciated the history, the legacy and the reputation Batemans had built over it’s long history. In mid 2004, Cam and his long time customer & private supplier for Bateman Jewllers, John Scarfe, started conversations about a partnership to buy the store. John also has a gemology background, he believed in the potential of Bateman’s and its good reputation.
In March 2005, Cam, his wife Janice, his business partner John Scarfe and his wife Laurie became business partners, then in January 2016 John sold his shares to Cam and Janice Kripki who are now the sole proprietors and continue to operate the store with integrity and care. You may recognize Cam’s voice from his long running ‘ Legend Of The Rock ‘ radio ads.
Over the years Bateman’s offerings have expanded to include high quality giftware, including quality fashion jewellery, fine glassware, jewellery boxes, Maison Bergers and beautifully designed household items. They hold a huge sale every year in October to commemorate their anniversary, the deals available are awesome and definitely worth checking out!!
