Get rewarded for investing more into Mamie's Pies, Inc.
The Problem
Mamie’s crucial inflection point was when loyal customers of our 9-inch pies started asking for something they could enjoy even after the holidays. “We love your pies and they were absolutely delicious, but it’s just me and my husband at home. Can you make something smaller?”
As more and more customers requested a smaller size, Kara realized there was an opportunity in the market. Despite pie’s status as a beloved dessert staple, it’s been relegated to a seasonal indulgence thanks to its large portion sizes.
The Solution
Available in 6 all natural fruit forward flavors, Mamie’s pocket pies are frozen and unbaked using all natural ingredients. We flash freeze our pies which retains all of the authenticity of our homemade flavor and texture throughout the 1 year freezer life. Then we individually package each pocket pie so you can bake one for yourself or feed your whole family!
The Market
In 2018 the frozen dessert market was valued at $93.7B.
Now more than ever, consumers are increasingly aware and cautious of what they are putting into their bodies. This means that the old class of preservative-filled pies just won’t cut it. Mamie's is capitalizing on evolving consumer tastes, as well as a rising frozen dessert industry, to build a strong ingredient-conscious brand.
Our Traction
Since landing on Oprah’s ‘O List’ in August of 2017, our business has taken off. Since then we’ve appeared on QVC 46 times, partnered with big names like Macy’s and Amazon, and sold over one million pocket pies.
Our revenue increased from $80K in 2017 to $1.1M in 2019, and we hope to have our biggest year to date in 2020.
What We Do
Grandma knew what she was doing, so we keep our ingredients simple and classic too. All we did was change the shape. Now you can enjoy those sweet memories at any time of the year. Our fruit-forward fillings include; Wild Maine blueberries, McIntosh apples, sweet strawberries, tart Michigan cherries, perfect peaches, and pumpkin pie whipped to perfection, all surrounded by Mamie’s 4 ingredient signature flaky crust.
We believe in transparency in everything we do. From the packaging to the ingredients, what you see is what you get.
From classic ingredients, no preservatives, and flash freezing, there’s nobody that does it like Mamie’s. The best part is, you can bake, air fry, or deep fry, and the memories are just minutes away.
Our Reviews
The Business Model
In 2019, we exceeded $1M in revenue from our robust e-commerce platform which includes QVC (on air and online), our Shopify store, Amazon, and Zulily among others. QVC is perfectly suited for Mamie's as it allows Kara to speak directly to customers, telling her story and puts Mamie's Pies in front of 110 million consumers.
We launched into grocery retail in the 4th quarter of 2019, and we are already selling in over 800 stores nationwide. Mamie’s is set up for success in the freezer aisle because we understand the fast-paced lifestyle of today’s consumer and the need for single serving convenience WITHOUT sacrificing quality.
Mamie's Pies now has 2,000 customers who love the taste and convenience of our pies so much, that they are set up on auto delivery to receive a 12 pack of Mamie's every 90 days.

How We Are Different
We consider Mamie's Pies to be leading the way in innovation in a category that has been stagnant for many years. Pies on the market are relying on preservatives to create shelf-stable products that are FAR from the homemade taste we know and love. We believe the frozen pie dessert category has not adapted to the ever-changing consumer lifestyle and the need for single serving desserts that are also good for you.
In our opinion, Mamie’s is the emerging brand that isn’t tied to a trend or fad and fighting for recognition in an already crowded space. We’re touted as the most innovative product in the frozen dessert category, filling a white space that’s been vacant for years. Mamie’s is leading the way in this category and proof is in the pie!
Just because today's consumer is always on-the-go, doesn’t mean we have to sacrifice taste or quality, Mamie’s has it all.

The Vision
Most consumer packaged goods' (CPG) go-to-market strategies, start with retail grocery. We knew the risks of attaining velocity in grocery out of the gate, so we shifted gears and went direct to consumer first. That success in e-commerce launched us into grocery with large chain velocity and national placement.
Now we look to do the same in the food service industry. From airlines, cruise lines, baseball stadiums, catering, and restaurants, Mamie's pocket pies have an application to meet every consumer and business need.
Future plans include adding a line of savory dinner pocket pies that will complement our popular desserts.

Our Team
When Kara founded Mamie’s as a single Mom of three, she put everything she had into the business to make sure it succeeded. She moved herself and her kids into a downsized apartment, using the proceeds from the sale of her home and the liquidation of her retirement account to fund her dream. Kara’s already done the hard part — building a company from the ground up. You could say it’s as easy as pie!
While building Mamie's Pies, Kara put together a team of industry professionals. Each one hand picked for their expertise in startups, frozen dessert, retail, e-commerce, and food service. Utilizing her background in finance, her natural sales ability and her success thinking outside the box, Kara continues to put Mamie's in a position for growth.
Why Invest
We are an authentic, home-grown company with a heart-warming story and an unmatched drive to succeed. We have a track record of sustained growth...and we’re just getting started. We want you to join in on the Mamie's journey and help us put our pocket pies in hearts and homes across the country.
