Revenue amounted to $910,837 for the year, a 6.6% increase on the prior year.

“We improved our bottom line results, swinging from a loss to a profit; which coupled with an increase in unit sales, produced the best overall quarter in the company’s history,” said Don Merrill, Tootie Pie Company’s president and CEO.

“We made a strategic acquisition in October, with pie sales accounting for 25% of the revenues in these new shops during the period. We think that is significant.”

The firm finalised the acquisition of its first two Tootie Pie Shops – formerly Benny’s Bagels – in San Antonio in October.
