We took an existing Australian based concept, Jesters, which is small hand pie concept and then found a high profile location in Bellevue Square. The design and build out are stunning. Working hand in hand with ownership we developed the fillings to meet American taste profiles. Some of the pies offered are a deluxe double cheeseburger, tenderloin steak & mushroom, rosemary chicken, minced beef & mashed potato, just to name a few. Jester pies uses high quality, local and natural ingredients. All menu items are free of artificial flavoring and hand-made fresh to serve to customers. We searched for the “best” staff, trained them thoroughly and developed a full set of operations manuals. The store is to open the end of February. The first of many!
