One of the longest running pie shops in the Victoria Public Market has sold—but luckily, everyone’s favourite pies will still be available.

Two Crows Craft Foods—which provides specialized and wholesale mustards, compote, spreads, and jam—has purchased the popular Victoria Pie Company, with the intent to merge the two businesses into one, owner Marie Takahashi told Tasting Victoria. Two Crows was started by Takahashi and her son in 2021.

“The goal [for Two Crows] has always been to own a kitchen,” she said. “That was always the long-term plan,” and according to Takahashi, the sale was serendipitous.

One morning, she was reading through Facebook and saw a post from someone looking to sell their business in hopes of starting a food truck or trading their business for a food truck. It’s not uncommon to see these types of posts on the Victoria Hospitality Group Facebook page—that’s how the Wandering Mollusk found a home.

So, Takahashi reached out.
