We have a summer series launching in May that I am super excited about!!
When I talk with my team about 2022, I refer to it as "The Year of Fun." The past two years have been wonky (to say the least) and I wanted to find a way to channel our "WE WILL SURVIVE" energy into "LET'S HAVE FUN!" energy.
I take all goals seriously..even if the goal is to have more fun.
Some FUN things Pie Bar has done so far in 2022 include:
- The Spring Break Pie Collab with Red Hare Brewery.
(hello, we got to bake with pineapples! So fun.)
- Our team hosted a surprise wedding shower for Pie Bar's General Manager and Fairy Godmother, Vivian.
(P.S. Our fav dark-haired cutie is getting married in only a few shorts days!)
- We donated over $800 worth of pies to local schools and organizations.
(because sharing is caring..and caring is fun.)
But the FUN will not / does not stop there.
*drumroll, please*
On May 1, 2022, we will kick off our 1st ever:
Inspired Pie Series
This idea (like most of my ideas) came to me while I was in the shower.
I was thinking all businessey when I realized, I don't want to focus on that right now.
I want to focus on collaboration and joy and PIE.
I want to focus on FUN.
I immediately emailed some of my fellow pie shop owners across The United States and pitched my idea to them.
What if Pie Bar baked one of their signature pies for a whole month?
We would introduce their shop to the Pie Bar Fam, and hopefully, expand this pie-loving community even more than we already have.
They all agreed!!
From May - August 2022 we will feature a different pie shop + their signature pie flavor here at Pie Bar!
Of course, lucky for me I ran this idea by Vivian before reaching out..and that genius brain of hers had the brilliant idea to create an Inspired Pie Series Passport.
*Round of Applause*
The Inspired Pie Series Passports are small cards that you can get at either Pie Bar Shop.
Then when you make your first purchase of either a slice or whole pie of the Inspired Pie Flavor of the month, you'll receive one stamp.
At the end of the summer, you'll qualify to receive a special Pie Bar treat as a thank you for participating based on your Inspired Pie Series Passport stamps!
I know you're excited to hear what the flavors and pie shops are going to be for each month.
