Tootie Pie To Sell Hand-made Pies At New Gourmet Cafe In San Antonio
Tootie Pie Company has said that it will sell its handmade pies in its new Gourmet Cafe at The Shops at Artisans Alley, a retail location in north central San Antonio.
The company did not reveal the terms of the transaction. The company is on the look-out for two more existing locations in the San Antonio area.
The Shops at Artisans Alley location will sell Tootie Pie, coffee, bagels, gourmet sandwiches, pastries and other comfort foods.
Don Merrill, president and CEO of Tootie Pie Company, said: “The Shops at Artisans Alley is a premier destination high end shopping center, located right in the heart of our demographic, that has a proven ability to draw a significant tourist clientele from all over the US. We envision our customers enjoying Tootie Pie in our Gourmet Cafes, and at home or the office by way of their local grocery store or our website where ordering is easy.
“The previous tenant was generating strong sales in food and beverage and we expect the same for our Gourmet Cafe. Our third cafe’s expected revenue, combined with the other two existing cafes, should enable us to achieve our annual revenue goal of $3m.”
Tootie Pie Company bakes and sells handmade pies through three basic sales channels: retail, corporate and wholesale.
The retail segment serves individual consumers through in-store sales, orders via telephone and internet on the company’s website. The corporate segment serves businesses that purchase pies as a way to promote their company through client and employee appreciation programs.
The wholesale segment is made up of national and regional broad line grocery and foodservice distributors who purchase pies and then resell them through their respective sales distribution channels.
