That sounds about right. I remember my parents went there shortly after it opened and brought home some donuts and one of the pies. The donuts were good but the pies were fabulous. I recall they were amazed that they came in a proper metal pie plate, not the foil type usually used in supermarket bakeries. They couldn't understand how they could make money on the pies because of that and the quality for the price charged. Mom had a collection of Tim's pie tins for a while.
