Hehe good ole Georgie Pie. We used to go there with friends or have birthday parties there as it was cheaper than McD's and we all loved it. I remember there used to be a big one in Porirua (that was my favourite) where the Enterprise car yard is now, and another in Manners Mall in Wellington.]]> Tue, 27 Jan 2009 13:00:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24025&PID=598762&title=in-yesterdays-sunday-herald#598762 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24025&PID=598382&title=in-yesterdays-sunday-herald#598382 Author: caitlynsmygirl

they were a restaurant chain that was bought out by McDonalds in 1996, they were known for their funtastic value meals (of course due to inflation etc now, that wont be possible)
Im not sure what GP Summerlamb went to , but the 14000 face book members of the Bring Back Georgie Pie group obviously remembers better

They tasted different to other pies, especially those disgusting Big Ben pies that are just gravy .
and the pastry tasted better .

A disgusting chain "restaurant" I think only in Auckland?? (although we had one for a while in Wellington). Like a McD's or KFC but they sold pies.

(no offence to those who loved the place, I thought it was awful!)

I did see it , they had a big picture of a Georgie Pie pie, how could I have missed it

Mc Ds is considering fighting it, tho , the guys pies arent called Georgie Pie pies, they are GP pies and different logo etc
BUT , the exciting part , which I will quote .
" McDonald's NZ managing director Mark Hawthorne said his company owned all Georgie Pie copy rights and trademarks and would investigate further ,blah blah blah , he then goes on to say (exciting part)
"he said the company was considering a GEORGIE PIE COMEBACK , not in standalone restaurants but intergrated into other outlets, we have discussed GP in a more serious nature with our investors within the past few months."

I will die happy , if Georgie pie comes back , no other pie comes close . ]]> Mon, 26 Jan 2009 13:43:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24025&PID=597879&title=in-yesterdays-sunday-herald#597879 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24025&PID=597870&title=in-yesterdays-sunday-herald#597870 Author: Mum2L
