A local coffee company now owns Emporium Pies, the dessert shop that got its start in a small house in Bishop Arts in 2012. <\/p>\n

White Rhino Coffee bought the pie business and its four locations, and the company plans to open more, according to a news release about the acquisition. <\/p>\n

\u201cEmporium Pies has built an extraordinary legacy,\u201d Sara Escamilla, CEO of White Rhino Coffee, said in a statement. \u201cTheir products are consistently excellent, impeccably crafted, and beloved. Every pie is made with the highest quality ingredients. To be able to support and grow a concept of this caliber is an honor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emporium Pies was started by Megan Wilkes and Mary Sparks initially as a pop-up, but it became a brick-and-mortar destination for pie lovers and grew to four locations<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In 2022, Wilkes and Sparks sold the business<\/a> to sisters Landon Perdue, Jen Abohosh and Addie Roberts who said their goal was business as usual. <\/p>\n

The latest sale to White Rhino Coffee means the pie shop will stay a majority women-owned business, and eventually will expand in Dallas-Fort Worth.<\/p>\n

White Rhino Coffee, which Chris Parvin first opened in Cedar Hill<\/a> in 2007, has more than a dozen locations across North Texas. <\/p>\n

Although under new ownership, former owner Addie Roberts will stay on staff along with the team of bakers, the release said. <\/p>\n

For now, everything will stay the same, but menu integrations and pie and coffee pairings will come in time, White Rhino Coffee ownership said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A local coffee company now owns Emporium Pies, the dessert shop that got its start in a small…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83579,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[323,322,4895,1302,13984,102,324,104,103,3949,49,320,1196,354,325],"class_list":["post-83578","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-baked-goods","tag-bakery","tag-bishop-arts","tag-cedar-hill","tag-coffee-shop","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-fortworth","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-deep-ellum","tag-food","tag-food-and-drink","tag-mergers-and-acquisitions","tag-restaurants","tag-small-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83578","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83578"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83578\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83579"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
