Sister Pie Sets Summer Pop-Up Schedule as Lauded Bakery Plots Next Move | Eater Detroit

"The award-winning bakery's founder, Lisa Ludwinski, is running a phased "summer interlude" (announced in May) rather than closing: she asserts this is no farewell tour and says some of the online conjecture has "amused and frustrated her." One person even asked how retirement was treating her. The pop-up events and a staggered reopening are intended as a period of reassessment — Ludwinski says the next two months should help shape her plans as she writes what she calls "the final draft" of the bakery's future — and she is taking her time amid uncertainty from federal tariffs and other variables that affect the cost of running a small business. The bakery popped up at a Hamtramck brewery the day before it planned to reopen for breakfast; the reopening/staggered schedule runs through early September. Schedule: Tuesday, July 22 — Breakfast, 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m.; Friday, July 25 — Lunch, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; Saturday, July 26 — market appearance; Tuesday, August 5 — Breakfast, 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m.; Friday, August 8 — Lunch, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; Saturday, August 9 — market appearance; Tuesday, August 19 — Breakfast, 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m.; Friday, August 22 — Lunch, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; Saturday, August 23 — market appearance; Tuesday, September 2 — Breakfast, 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m.; Friday, September 5 — Lunch, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; Saturday, September 6 — market appearance." - Ashok Selvam
