SAN ANTONIO — Tootie Pie Company, Inc. announced that Tootie Pies are now carried in Crescent Market, an upscale grocer located in Oklahoma City, OK.
“A Gourmet Tootie Pie in a gourmet grocer is exactly the combination we are seeking. We are pleased to continue our expansion into upscale operations with the addition of Crescent Market, a recognized and valued gourmet grocer” said Don Merrill, President & CEO.
“Crescent Market has been providing the finest gourmet selection, in an equally appealing upscale environment, for over 100 years. We cater to the discriminating tastes of our customers by providing them with the best products available in any given category. We think our customers will love Tootie Pie as much as we do” said Tony McGuffee, Store Manager of Crescent Market.
“Premium food establishments are recognizing the value of attracting a Tootie Pie customer. Many grocery managers tell us that what they like about our customer is that she buys a ribeye steak, a nice bottle of wine and a Tootie Pie for her gathering. In these times, when so many operations are focused on delivering lower prices by offering lower quality, customers that buy Tootie Pies want high quality and are willing to pay for higher quality. Many upscale food establishments seek to increase sales to these customers and more customers are rewarding these operations with increased business” added Merrill.
