Minneapolis’ Sunniest New Pie Shop Will Likely Open Later This Month
The shop run by Karen “Ratchet” Mattison and baker Rachel Swan, will again fold boxes, tuck pie inside and be available for many hugs. Pie pick up day has always been an emotional affair.
The sunny new home of Pie & Mighty will alternate hours depending on the day. Some will be morning pick ups, others afternoons, and when ordering, people can choose the best time for retrieval.
The decor is homey with bright blue flooring and white subway tile walls with one yellow stripe through them. Accessories are vintage finds. She and Mattison found a canary-colored icebox to hold sweatshirts and t-shirts for sale. The menu will be written on old window panes hung behind the register. The piece de resistance is a vintage pie case that spins and a whopping 1rpm.
On Saturday March 14, the new shop will host, along with next door neighbor Jakeeno’s, Slicefest. Pie & Mighty will have a slices of pies and show off the small, but might need space. Jakeeno’s will serve slices of pizza. Bring cash to buy all the good slices, get a first hand look at the shop, and maybe even a hug.
Depending on how inspections and response goes over, Pie & Mighty will likely open for business soon in the next few weeks.
