History

The pie shop opened in 1914. Originally it was located on the Pacific Highway, but when the highway was replaced by the Pacific Motorway which did not permit roadside businesses, it relocated to larger modern premises just off exit 38 of the north-bound side of the motorway.

The pie shop was flooded in April 2017 following heavy rain produced by Cyclone Debbie.
