We celebrated the opening of our seventh pie shop on May 2nd with giving out gift cards to the first 50 customers in line. People started lining up at 4:15 a.m.! one family brought their folding chairs and snuggies (it was pretty cold and rainy). We appreciate every one who came out to celebrate and welcome us to the neighborhood! Our entire staff worked the new store, along with volunteer friends and family members, trying to keep up with the pie samples and coffee. Many of our bakers and managers from our headquarters in Chesterfield made an appearance and went to work at once! Our brother company, Achatz Soups from Skratch was there with manager Andy Brown sampling their award winning soups! (Their Hungarian Mushroom just won the “Golden Ladle Award” in Detroit last week.)

Dave and I are so thankful to all the great people at AHPC who put out all those wonderful pies day in and day out! Great work everyone! and of corse to all of our faithful customers who keep us rolling, thanks so much!
