🥧❤️ Today, a chapter closed for Home Slice Handmade Pies — but in true Bondurant fashion, you all SHOWED UP and SHOWED OUT.

More than an hour before the doors even opened, there was already a line — in the rain — of people waiting for one last chance to grab their favorite pies. And once those doors opened, those pies went FAST!

But I think today proved something we’ve known all along: it was never just about the pies.

Yes, the pies are hands-down some of the best you’ll ever eat. But what kept people coming back year after year was Laura, her family, and her incredible crew. It was the smiles, the conversations, the familiar faces, and the kind of small-town business where you didn’t just feel like a customer — you felt like a friend.

Laura built something truly special in Bondurant, and judging by the crowd that showed up today, this community knows just how special it was. ❤️

While we’re sad to see this chapter come to an end, we know one thing for sure: the future is bright, and we can’t wait to see what the next chapter brings.

Thank you, Laura and the entire Home Slice family, for all the pies, all the memories, and for being such a special part of Bondurant. 🥧❤️

You will be missed — and you will ALWAYS have a home here.
