A note from Lisa Ludwinski, Founder of Sister Pie

 

Although the spirit of Sister Pie is alive and well, I’ve arrived at the conclusion that the business isn’t working in its current state. There are multiple, intersecting factors that contribute to this, most urgently in the form of a financial crisis. The year 2025 (so far) has been about confronting truth, sometimes courageously and in community, and at other times, under a blanket. As a business owner and a leader, I’m learning, reminiscing, mourning, growing, and searching for hope in the midst of challenge and chaos. 

​

With summer close upon us, I have decided to make some temporary, necessary changes to our operations. Starting the week of June 9, Sister Pie will not be open for regular business hours. Instead, the business will enter a period of rest and reconfiguration, of exploration and experimentation, and of occasional pop-ups and events to keep the roof over our heads. We’ll also be fulfilling special orders and teaching baking classes throughout this time. 

​

The best way to support our phenomenal staff during this transition is to visit the bakery in these next couple weeks to spread some kindness (and tips!!). Our last day of regular operations (for now!) is Sunday, June 8. We would love to see you, and stay tuned!

​

(PS I’m sure you have questions, and so do I! There’s a lot I don’t know right now, like how long this interlude will last or what Sister Pie will look like when we come back, but I’ll keep you posted. I won’t be reading or responding to comments on social media, but if you’d like to be in touch, my email is lisa@sisterpie.com.)
