The company is led by three local partners: Hunter Keim, George Wagner II and Pat Breslin.<\/p>\n

“We saw an opportunity to take something the community already loved and build a real business around it,\u201d said Hunter Keim, president of The Pierogi Kings.<\/p>\n

“Bayou Boys earned a reputation for quality, and our job is to honor that while bringing the consistency, capacity, and service that restaurant operators need from a wholesale partner.”<\/p>\n

The Pierogi Kings offers wholesale, fundraisers and retail sales.<\/p>\n

Currently, the business primarily supplies restaurants with frozen pierogies by the case for use as menu items, sides and seasonal features.<\/p>\n

The company is steadily growing its production capacity and account base.<\/p>\n

Individuals can shop various pierogi varieties, including cheddar, bacon, garlic, pickle, Buffalo chicken and apple, online at thepierogikings.com<\/a>. Shipping, local delivery and store pick-up options are available.<\/p>\n
