Free Pie on Pi Day – Monday, March 14

Posted on February 24, 2016 in News | 2 Comments

Calling all Pi and Pie lovers! It’s almost time for the coolest and yummiest mathematical day of the year – Pi Day, March 14th (3.14).

We are excited to once again celebrate P-i Day with P-i-e! All 15 of our GT Pie Co shops are offering a free slice of Michigan ABC Pie with any purchase all day on Monday, March 14th. The most excellent part of all? The apples, blueberries and cherries in our ABC Pie are all from Michigan. We are honored to shine light both on the quality of Michigan’s agricultural bounty and the importance education plays within our state.

Confused about Pi? The symbol used by mathematicians to represent the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter is the Greek letter π. That letter (and therefore the number π itself) can be denoted by the Latin word pi. In English, π is pronounced as “pie” of course. The number π is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, and is approximately equal to 3.14159.

At Grand Traverse Pie Company, our commitment is to make amazing pie with purpose. We are passionate about making a heartfelt positive impact on those we serve. Make plans to join all of our positive, good hearted people on Monday, March 14th at any GT Pie Co. location. We hope you enjoy what we love to do most – serve handmade pie made from scratch every day, just for you!
