Centerville Pie Company
The Centerville Pie Company is a pie company located in Centerville, Massachusetts.[1] It gained fame when it was mentioned on Oprah Winfrey's Favorite Things episode in 2010. Furthermore, their pies were sold through the Harry & David corporation.
Overview
The company was founded by long-time friends and current owners Laurie Bowen and Kristin Broadley in March, 2009. It is located in the village along a shopping plaza alongside Route 28. In 2009, as Oprah Winfrey and friend Gayle King was attending the funeral of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, then Kristin Broadley delivered to them a chicken pie and a peach pie as a gift. Immediately, the two women became fans of the pies and Gayle went and bought two for her children, Kirby and Will.
On September 19, 2010 Kristin and Laurie appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show. In December, Oprah named them one of her Ultimate Favorite Things. The pies are currently available at their Pie Shop and Restaurant in Centerville, MA and on their website.
