Growth was the theme of Q4 2018 at Your Pie, according to a company press release that said the brand opened seven stores, bringing its total footprint to 65 locations across 19 states. Between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31, Your Pie opened stores in Tucker, Macon and Monroe, Georgia; St. Augustine and Stuart, Florida; Mt. Juliet, Tennessee and Chesapeake, Virginia. 
  
"The last quarter brought a lot of exciting growth, both in terms of our store footprint and our leadership team," said Your Pie Founder and President Drew French. 

During the fourth quarter, Your Pie also hired Dave McDougall as COO to oversee operations and marketing at the national and store levels, with an emphasis on unit revenue growth and profitability. McDougall has held executive roles with Back Yard Burgers, NextCen, Focus Brands.

"His expertise has already proven invaluable in helping us to hone and strengthen our brand identity while also fueling store sales," French said. "We have a vision to one day see Your Pie in every corner of the U.S., and we're making huge strides internally in pursuit of that goal. We are proud of the team we've built and believe our 2018 growth is a testament to their commitment to our customers and communities."
