Anna Mary's Fried Pies to grow production with new Londonderry site
LONDONDERRY — Anna Mary's Fried Pies LLC is set to expand with a $250,000 investment in a new Londonderry facility, creating four jobs.
According to an announcement, the company, established in 2020, manufactures frozen pastries and supplies restaurants and grocery stores across several states.
The new 2,000-square-foot facility will increase production space and allow the company to expand its wholesale manufacturing.
The investment is supported by a $25,000 JobsOhio Small Business Grant, which aids small businesses facing unique challenges, as well as Ohio Southeast Economic Development (OhioSE), and the Vinton County Commissioners Development Department.
'The JobsOhio Small Business Grant is a wonderful program for startup businesses and is a great boost for the sincere entrepreneur,' said Allen Miller, owner of Anna Mary's Fried Pies. 'Thanks to all of the OhioSE and JobsOhio team for their support.'
The company recently added apple dumplings and acquired an ice cream line, further diversifying its offerings.
'Anna Mary's expansion with support from OhioSE is a perfect example of economic development agencies working together to bring a project to fruition,' said Terri Fetherolf, director of Vinton County Commissioners Development Department. 'Vinton County is happy to support their expansion into wider markets. And, by the way, the fried pies are delicious!'
The JobsOhio Small Business Grant provides grants to support the growth of small businesses in qualifying areas or owned by eligible populations, including minorities, women, veterans and people with disabilities.
'Anna Mary's Fried Pies is a prime example of how businesses can thrive and expand in Southeast Ohio,' said Matt Abbott, president and CEO of OhioSE. 'The JobsOhio Small Business Grant was a tremendous tool to leverage additional investment that will fuel added capacity and growth for the company.'
