MZANSI has produced some of the best food brands.
And if you think of pies there is one noteworthy brand whose roots runs deep in many South Africans.
For the past 25 years, King Pie has “pie-o-neered” world-class pies to its many loyal and loving fans.
The first bakery was opened in Silverton, Pretoria, in 1993. From the start, the bakery was ahead of its time – the open-plan layout allowed customers to see the bakers making the pies while they waited to buy their favourites at the front.
After three years, the King Pie Franchise Group was formed and since then over 280 varieties of the franchises all over South Africa and have joined the Bidvest Group of venture investors.
Using only the best ingredients, the pies were baked daily in an open style kitchen bakery where patrons can see the staff making the magic happening live – a sensation appealing to all of the five senses.
This open-plan layout proved to be so popular with customers that they would queue to purchase these tasty and flavour-packed local pies.
Every family has a story as to how they relate to this brand and what their favourite pie flavour is.
From Cornish, Russian roll, chicken, beef or kidney, the pie makers have a top-notch pie that caters to everyone’s taste.
While the pie company has transformed greatly over the past 25 years, the group has established itself as one of Mzansi’s well-loved companies with stores stretching all over the country and into the SADC region too.
Andre Els, CEO at King Pie said it was their vision to remain the superior pie brand and leading business in both South Africa and our neighbouring countries where we have a strong footprint.
