The Cardiff-based vegan business, The Pie Box, is opening its first permanent store in Cardiff. The business, which sells delicious vegan pies and cakes, used to only appear at food markets, food festivals and for private hire and it will now have its own store.
The Pie Box is run by Sophie Scott who started the business three years ago after making her friends a vegan pie and they loved it so much she started doing it professionally. She said: "I have always wanted to start my own business so I was keeping my eyes open for any opportunities, one day I made a really good pie for some friends and from there just kept making pies until I thought 'yes this is the one.'
"We organised a pop-up at Kings Road Yard in Pontcanna and the response we got from customers was overwhelmingly positive and the business just kept growing from there." The store will open on Tudor Street in Riverside where the location is currently being used as a prep kitchen for The Pie Box.
