In mid-January, Ten Pies LLC opened its first Pie Five Pizza restaurant in Orlando, the chain’s third in Florida. The latest restaurant opened at the University Terrace plaza near Rouse Rd., a mile west of the University of Central Florida. Based in Daytona Beach, Ten Pies LLC holds the rights to open up to ten restaurants in the Orlando, Melbourne, Daytona Beach and Gainesville markets. Ten Pies is owned by entrepreneur L. Gale Lemerand, one of the co-founders of Stonewood Grill & Tavern restaurants. After signing the multi-unit agreement in March 2013, in January 2014, Ten Pies opened its first Pie Five in Port Orange and in September, it also brought Pie Five’s menu of handcrafted specialty pies to Daytona near the International Speedway. At the fast-casual restaurants, guests can choose from more than a million combinations of handcrafted personal pizzas and a variety of specialty pie choices. Add a hand-made salad and dessert, prepared fresh every day, and the entire meal will be ready in less than five minutes. The rapidly expanding chain is capitalizing on growing consumer demand for fresh dining options and artisan pizzas in stylish environments without the wait. Blake Hunter at SRS Real Estate Partners is handling the site selection for Ten Pies LLC.
