The Facebook post read that starting the week of June 9, “the business will enter a period of rest and radical reconfiguration.”
Owner Lisa Ludwinski explained although the spirit of Sister Pie is alive and well, “there are multiple, intersecting factors that contribute to this, and most urgently in the form of a financial crisis.”
During its closure, Ludwinski wrote they will fulfill special orders and do occasional pop-ups and events “to keep the roof over our heads,” as well as continue teaching baking classes throughout the time.
Ludwinski concluded by saying “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.”
Ludwinski is known for her pies and other baked goods that hail from the Sister Pie shop, which opened in 2015. Hallmarks of Ludwinski’s pies are a crust featuring a thick, crimped decorative edge, rich golden color and a buttery taste paired with a flaky texture.
The last day of regular operations will be June 8. The entire post can be read below.
