We’re thrilled to be ringing in our 40th anniversary in 2025—and we want to thank you, our loyal customers, for all of your support over the years!

One night, back in 1985, I was returning home from an acting audition when I heard President Regan say, “This is the year of the American entrepreneur.” Somehow that message resonated with me.

I also remembered reading in Time magazine that if one wanted to be successful in America, “you invent something or you improve on something that had already been invented.”

Well, I certainly couldn’t invent the apple pie, and I wasn’t even sure if I could improve upon it. However, I found myself reflecting on that speech, and it inspired me to give it a try.

It’s been over forty years since I baked that first pie in my apartment. Now, I know that the saying holds true: If you can bake it in New York, you can bake it anywhere.

Thank you, everyone, for making an American dream come true, and thank you to the Little Pie Company family — I couldn’t have done it without you. I am so honored to celebrate Little Pie Company’s 40th anniversary with all of you!

Warm wishes to everyone who enjoys the delicious aroma of a freshly baked pie. Here’s to many more sweet times ahead!

Sincerely,

Arnold Wilkerson
