PROFILE |
 |
In the early 1940s Marie Callender said, "Let them eat pie," and millions since then have taken her up on the offer. Marie Callender Pie Shops, founded as a wholesale bakery, now operates or franchises more than 160 restaurants in 12 states as well as in Mexico City. The eateries still feature the home-style cooking that made Marie famous in Southern California -- traditional desserts, pot pies, and sandwiches -- and have added salads, soups, turkey, and garden burgers to their menu. Most menu items are priced under $10 and are available for take-out service. The company discontinued its Best of Marie's mall unit concept in 1999. Investment firm Castle Harlan owns Marie Callender Pie Shops.
