A local coffee company has acquired Emporium Pies, a beloved dessert shop that began in Bishop Arts in 2012. This acquisition marks a new chapter for both businesses, as White Rhino Coffee plans to integrate their offerings and expand Emporium Pies' presence in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
• White Rhino Coffee, founded in 2007, now owns Emporium Pies and its four locations.
• The pie shop was originally started as a pop-up by Megan Wilkes and Mary Sparks.
• The previous owners, sisters Landon Perdue, Jen Abohosh, and Addie Roberts, aimed to maintain the business's legacy.
• Former owner Addie Roberts and the baking team will remain on staff during this transition.
This acquisition is significant as it ensures Emporium Pies will continue to be a majority women-owned business. It also highlights the growing collaboration between coffee and dessert shops, promising exciting new menu options for customers in the future.
