Kathy and her mother Mary Knapp are the founders of Pie-O-Neer. When they came to the small town, Pie Town, they were shocked to find that there weren’t any pie shops anymore! Three generations of Knapps—including daughter Wendi—then started baking pies, with Mary in lead as she had success as a baker in Illinois. They were determined to put the pie back in Pie Town, and the rest is history.
These women truly did bring Pie Town back to life.

Kathy Knapp has been named the "Pie Lady of Pie Town," and there’s even a documentary feature on her.
Their motto is, "If you bake it, they will come." What a true statement.
