Table Talk Pies to relaunch operations of Pâtisserie Gaudet
Relaunch follows the acquisition of the patisserie's French assets.
Table Talk Pies of Worcester, MA, has officially completed the acquisition of the assets of Acton Vale-based Pâtisserie Gaudet, which was previously under the management of trustee Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton after being placed under the protection of the Creditors Arrangement Act. Gaudet was at one time a major player in the Canadian pie and tart market but has unfortunately fallen on hard times in recent years. With this transaction, which closed on Dec. 22, Table Talk hopes to return the closed facility to its key position in the Canadian sweet goods industry.
"We intend to reopen the Gaudet plant to make pies for the Canadian market again and we will work closely with the former employees, as well as local and provincial authorities, to try to get this plant back up and running as quickly as possible," said Harry Kokkinis, president of Table Talk Pies.
