United Supermarkets Buys Iconic August Pies

LUBBOCK, TX – After August Pies stopped the production of their famous fried pies, United Supermarkets recently acquired the rights to the name and recipes of the iconic brand.

“When we learned August Pies had ceased operations, we moved quickly to ensure the legendary brand would continue to be available for our guests,” said Sidney Hopper, president of The United Family. “We feel the brand and quality of August Pies aligns well with our mission to offer great local products.”

August Pies began production in Lubbock in 1947 and had been a staple for Lubbock residents. August Pies were originally produced by August Moeller and were known for their delicate, flaky crust and variety of fruit fillings that included apple, pineapple, cherry, apricot, and peach, in addition to creamy lemon, chocolate, and coconut.

“We will have some exciting announcements in the fall when production resumes, said Robert Taylor, CEO of United Supermarkets. “We are delighted to continue this longtime Lubbock legacy. It’s part of our West Texas story, too.”
