The Table Talk project, to be developed by Chacharone Properties, consists of the construction of a 50,000 square foot, modern industrial building, which will allow the company to meet their expansion needs, retaining 30 workers and creating an additional 50 full-time jobs. Table Talk Pies is a family business that was established in 1924 by Theodore Tonna and Angelo Cotsidas, two Greek immigrants who came to America to build a better life for themselves and their families. The second generation, represented by Christo Cocaine, carried on the tradition of producing the highest quality pie possible and emphasizing customer service.

Today, Table Talk Pies is one of the most widely recognized and experienced pie bakers in the world. The company is currently selling more than 2 million 4-inch snack pies per week and nearly 400,000 larger pies per week.
