WEEKLY BUSINESS HIGHLIGHT

VICTORY PIE COMPANY

Tucked away in the charming town of Tomball lies a little gem known as Victory Pie Company, where the art of pie-making intertwines with a heartfelt mission to uplift the community. This quaint bakery is more than just a place to satisfy your cravings; it’s a testament to culinary mastery and compassion ❤️. But beyond the mouthwatering flavors, Victory Pie Company embodies love, resilience, and the spirit of giving back.

The story begins with Sheila, whose journey was marked by the profound loss of her brother, SSG Mark “Doc” Wells, a courageous soldier who gave his life in Afghanistan. Mark had a special fondness for Sheila’s chicken pot pie, and their shared passion for baking laid the foundation for something extraordinary ✨. Yet, the magic of Victory Pie Company extends beyond its menu. It stands as a beacon of hope for veterans, first responders, and those in need. With every pie sold, a portion of the proceeds supports local charities and initiatives dedicated to these heroes.

Whether it’s through donating meals, organizing community fundraisers, or nurturing connections, Victory Pie Company demonstrates that small businesses can indeed make a significant impact. So, why not treat yourself to something both delicious and meaningful? Stop by Victory Pie Company for a warm meal, a sweet indulgence, or simply a comforting slice 🥧, knowing that you’re contributing to a stronger, more connected Tomball community 💕.

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH THE ARCTIC FRONT

Harris County officials are alerting us to an impending arctic front set to arrive this week, bringing with it a taste of winter's chill. Temperatures are expected to drop into the low 20s, so if you haven't done so already, it's wise to set your out-of-office replies to "Texas is temporarily on pause." We could be back in business tomorrow, or perhaps next week—it's unpredictable, like a game show with more snow and fewer cash prizes. Stay informed with updates, and make sure to keep your mittens ready!
