So sad to see y’all go, Hutch’s! You have been a gem in Parker County for nearly a century. You’re going to be so missed! Happy trails to you!
A Beloved Weatherford Institution Rides Into the Sunset After 90 years in Business
Hutch’s Pie and Sandwich Shop, a 90-year-old bakery that evolved into a regional fried pie company, will close on February 15.
“After spending about 90% of my lifetime in the pie business, I have decided to retire from this life of pie. This has not been an easy decision and one I have struggled with for over a year. We will be open from Tuesday, February 11, to Saturday, February 15, and then I will close the doors one final time. During these last days, we will only be making breakfast and fruit pies and will close when we sell out. Thank you, Weatherford, for your support since 1935.”
Hutch's pie began in 1935 during the Depression. It began as a way to make money for founder R.F. Hutche.
It grew into a place for people to meet and socialize.
“Well, you will never be replaced,” said Linda Ann Murphree Smith. “Me, my best friend of nearly 50 years and husband meet there for all our occasions or just to have a delicious treat. But, fully understand and wish you the best retirement. You will truly be missed. And thank you for your delicious food and hospitality! I’ve had Hutch’s pies since I was a little girl. And I’m not a young one.”
