Table Talk Pies opens first retail store in 20 years today

It’s been more than 20 years since someone could walk into a cafe, order a Table Talk 8-inch pie with a side of vanilla ice-cream and sip on coffee while watching cars pass through the Canal District in Worcester, Mass.

Pie-lovers, rejoice: Table Talk Pies is opening a retail store on 153 Green St. Tuesday at 9 a.m. The first 10 customers get a free coffee or tea with their purchase of a pie.

The retail opening follows an expansive period for the once-dormant pie company.

Table Talk Pies was almost sunk by its corporate owners in the 1980s. However, when the Kokkinis family took the company back in the 2000s and shifted its focus back to their addicting 4-inch pies, their fortunes began to turn.

Harry Kokkinis, the third-generation of the Table Talk Pies family, is expanding the brand by re-opening the Table Talk retail store, and building a new production plant in the South Worcester Industrial Park. The city of Worcester is in the midst of a renaissance of development, dining and culture that has taken off in the past few years.

For long-time Table Talk Pie customers, this set up should not sound unfamiliar. Kokkinis said the original Table Talk Pies location, which opened around 1944, was the perfect place for coffee and pie, until the entire Table Talk brand was closed down in 1984 by the then-corporate owners. Kukkinis’ father bought the brand back and relaunched it shortly after.

WORCESTER — A project 22 years, six months and some days in the making, the city of Worcester has finally sold all of the parcels available in what was once a South Worcester industrial wasteland.

“SWIP is done,” City Manager Edward Augustus Jr. said.

Chacharone Properties, Advanced Machinery and Table Talk Pies have finalized deals to develop six parcels of land equivalent to about 95,000 square feet of new construction. The entire South Worcester Industrial Park is more than 200,000 square feet of land.

James Chacharone, president of Chacharone Properties, announced at a groundbreaking for Table Talk Pies that he wants to construct a manufacturing building about 7,500 square feet on spec which he hopes to fill with an industrial tenant. Chacharone’s purchase was the last remaining parcel in the industrial park area.

Chacharone’s company is also building Table Talk Pies’ new, 50,000 square foot manufacturing plant, which will open in approximately six months.
