Table Talk Pies Breaks Ground On New Warehouse In Worcester, Mass.

Table Talk Pies and Tippmann Innovation broke ground in late February on a new cold storage facility in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Cold storage contractor Tippmann Innovation of Fort Wayne, Indiana, is constructing a -10°F freezer warehouse that maximizes energy efficiency, according to the companies. The freezer sits adjacent to Table Talk’s 150,000-s.f. manufacturing facility, which will enable the facility to streamline the production and distribution processes. The facility now is able to produce at full capacity and store finished goods on-site instead of using outside public cold storage.

In Worcester, the name Table Talk has been synonymous with pie since 1924…especially the beloved four-inch pie…”me snack,” as some say.

Not all 10,000 pies an hour make it to market. Good news for us, those deemed perfectly imperfect can be had at bargain prices at the pie store on Green Street.

WORCESTER – Take about 11 acres of land, buy much of the property, tear down decrepit buildings, give new construction a tax break and then resell available parcels to developers.

That’s the recipe the city of Worcester followed with the South Worcester Industrial Park over close to two decades, a swath of land wedged between Canterbury Street and railroad tracks. The land was once home to metal and machine manufacturers, a foundry and an auto salvage business.

Today, the park is home to a pie maker and a manufacturing equipment seller. Soon, a modern manufacturing building for small businesses or startups will rise on another parcel. All of the parcels bought and cleared by the city have been sold or have deals in place.

A new chapter for Table Talk Pies begins with the opening of second Worcester factory

By Alban Murtishi

Harry Kokkinis struggled to contain his emotions as he spoke about his family’s legacy during the ribbon cutting at the new Table Talk Pies factory.

After all, Kokkinis had witnessed his grandfather and father build Table Talk to be a snack pies powerhouse, only to see it go bankrupt in the hands of another owner in the 1984.

Kokkinis’ father, Christo Cocaine, ended up buying back the company a few years later and turned Table Talk Pies around. By focusing his efforts on making the 4-inch pies the star of the Table Talk product line, Cocaine began expanding the pie-company’s reach across the region and the nation.
