Alabama baker starts new “pie vending machine” with smart fridge
Reading time: 2 minutes
I’m willing to bet you’ve never gotten a slice of freshly-baked pie out of a vending machine. With one Alabama baker’s innovative 24/7 Fridge, though, you can do just that. Here’s what you need to know about Pies by Mike’s latest addition.
Pies by Mike’s new smart fridge
Late night-pie cravings are a real thing, and Pies by Mike is offering a fun solution. They just installed an exterior smart fridge, stocked with their famous pies (both savory and sweet!).
Customers who can’t swing by the sweet spot in Clanton during normal business hours now have the chance to “Swipe. Grab. Go.”
This easy-to-use smart fridge is like a high-tech vending machine, but it’s filled with fresh-baked pie instead of chips and cookies. Here are some of their signature flavors that keep customers coming back (now, even after they’ve closed their doors!).
- Buttermilk
- Butterscotch Toll House
- Chocolate Pecan
- Ham
- Peanut Butter
- Sausage
Customers can access to these “incrediliciously good pies” 24/7 now with the new smart fridge. All you have to do is walk up, swipe your card, take what you’d like and go home to enjoy your pie (prefereably as son as possible).
BONUS: Pies by Mike is also a fabulous place to grab a cup of coffee (one of our reader’s favorites in Alabama!).
