2010 Means Expansion for Successful Sweetie-licious Pie Pantry in DeWitt

Ever on the move, Sweetie-licious' Linda Hundt is ready to expand her business by building out her central kitchen.

The Dewitt bakery has been recognized locally and nationally for producing outstanding pies, but is growing so quickly its existing kitchen cannot meet demand.

“We’ve definitely profited this year,” Hundt says. “I’ve added two more people and we have one shop and we don’t have enough space for storage or enough space to do mail orders.”

Hundt is deciding between two locations for the build-out and is talking with a few Hollywood production companies about starting a reality show.

“It’s exciting and I feel really good about it, but I don’t know what will happen,” she says about the show. “I’m not in a big hurry.”

Hundt has 20 employees and hopes to have the central bakery ready for production in February.
