How Sweet it is or rather How sweet they were.
One Million Key Lime pies at just one restaurant chain and I was there for the celebration.
How sweet were the Kennys Key Lime pies? They just don't get much better, in fact they are the absolute best and that's why they are called Kenny's Great Key Lime pies.
Now picture this if you can. One million Key lime pies, that's right ONE MILLION. That breaks down or rather slices down to Six milluion slices my friend. That alone should blow your mind but now consider this. That was the number of key lime pies sold at just one particular restaurant chain.Β California Pizza Kitchens
Obviously a customer of Kenny's pies and very pleased with the way the product has sold in their stores. CPK was celebrating their own 25th anniversary and it just so happened that they were receiving the one millionth Key Lime Pie from Kenny's.

Kenny's Great PiesΒ is Β located right here in Cobb County and about half way between Smyrna and Mableton. They make them all on Highland Parkway and that location is probably about six miles from the apartmentΒ where the company started in what was Belmont Hills Shopping area. Kenny's employees come from all over Cobb County. Marietta, Smyrna, Mableton, Austell and even from East cobb. They enjoy the work and most have been on the team for years. Kenny's dad is still involved with the company and makes sure everything is just right.

Catherine Anderson, national accounts manager from Kenny's was on hand and gave out anniversary T shirts, and a slew of other prizes to the staff and customers who were in the restaurant for the party.
Everybody was a winner for that meal and I was an even bigger winner becauseΒ I enjoy Kenny's Pies and not just the "flagship Key Lime".Β Β On that day IΒ enjoyedΒ specialty pizza (made to order), Β great company, good drinks and of course that Key lime pie.
If you have never had a Kenny's Pie then go by the ofice and get one or maybe two. For that much why not try all the awesome flavors and then decide which is your personal favorite.
