- Overview
You Need Pie - Franchise
You Need Pie is, at our core, a family business. Our mission is to deliver our guests consistency with generational service, atmosphere, and recipes. We follow this by constantly asking ourselves, “Would grandma be proud?” and if the answer is no, we simply will not execute it. This is the type of model that we aim to streamline in our franchise journey.
Combining gourmet desserts with breakfast, lunch, and dinner allows for the model to be much more diverse and sustainable. With our high standards of quality products, customer service, and accomplished management—this is an opportunity that you would not want to miss!
