History

[edit | edit source]

In 1924, the company was founded by Theodore Tonna and Angelo Cotsidas, both Greek immigrants.[2][9]

In 1958, Table Talk purchased the Frisbie Pie Company, which is credited with providing the inspiration for the frisbee brand name.[4]

In the 1960s, the business was sold to Beech-Nut.[3]

In 1984, Beech-Nut shut down, taking the Table Talk brand with it.[3]

In 1986, Table Talk Pies was reopened by Tonna's son-in-law, Christo Cocaine.[2]

In 2016, the company announced plans to build an additional production plant,[10] as well as open its first retail store in more than 20 years.[11]

On January 25, 2017 (9 years ago) (2017-01-25), Table Talk Pies opened their store on Canal Street in Worcester.[12]

In August 2020, construction began on a new 120,000-square-foot (11,000 m2) production bakery within the former Crompton & Knowles Looms Works complex.[13]
