Description
The Original House of Pies is an American restaurant chain, started in 1969 by Al Lapin Jr., who was also responsible for International House of Pancakes, Copper Penny Coffee Shops, Orange Julius, and others. Specializing in many different flavors of pie available for dessert, the chain was popular up through 1976 when it was sold by IHOP Corporation to Robert Herndon, who eventually downsized the chain's locations. By 1986 the franchise chain filed for bankruptcy and closed most of its locations.

Cruising through many states of America, remnants of eateries of the past can still be found. Travel back to a stage in time with me to rekindle the memories of food franchises and the lost cuisine of bygone days. We can remember the presence of these dining experiences in their heyday long ago, but still etched in moments and recollections.
