Plain Jane\u2019s Fried Pies<\/a>, owned by Melissa Osborne, will start selling four fruit pie varieties at Circle K locations beginning Tuesday.<\/p>\nOsborne has been making fried pies for about six years, starting at markets with her mother before expanding to a food truck and selling at local businesses.<\/p>\n
The newest partnership began when Osborne\u2019s husband received a business card from Craig Holmes, regional operations director for Circle K. Holmes had recently moved back to his hometown of Lubbock and discovered Plain Jane\u2019s at the Wolfforth Farmer\u2019s Market.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey reminded me of my childhood and I was like man, we need to carry these in our stores, they\u2019re fantastic,\u201d Holmes said.<\/p>\n
Osborne said the opportunity came as a surprise.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said I love your pies, I want your pies in our stores. And I\u2019m like, I mean I almost fell over,\u201d Osborne said.<\/p>\n
Holmes said the decision aligned with Circle K\u2019s \u201csuper global, super local\u201d motto and his own personal connection to fried pies.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy mom made fried pies when I was a kid, and man they were good and she actually passed away kind of young, and the recipe was gone with her. And I haven\u2019t found one yet that was just as good, and this was darn close,\u201d Holmes said.<\/p>\n
Plain Jane\u2019s will sell four fruit pie varieties at Circle K: apple, peach, cherry and apricot. The pies will debut Tuesday at stores at 66th and Milwaukee and Indiana and the South Loop.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, the pies will expand to four additional locations, including the new store along the Marsha Sharp.<\/p>\n
Holmes said Circle K plans to eventually feature Plain Jane\u2019s fried pies at all 11 Lubbock stores and a new location coming to Levelland.<\/p>\n
Osborne says Plain Jane\u2019s Fried Pies will continue operating at markets and events, but less frequently as they focus more time on baking for the Circle K partnership.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the biggest dream a girl can ask for, you know just a small-town girl and I\u2019m ready,\u201d Osborne said.<\/p>\n
