Pi(e) Day 2020
If you’ve been around here for a hot second, then you already know that PJP is the Official Sponsor of the annual Pi(e) Day celebration on March 14th. I tuned out 96% of the information provided to me in high school about 3.14 pi and the calculation of it, so I find it so ironic that now I’m in charge of an epic celebration of an event even loosely related to math. And honestly, who cares about the math…let’s talk about the pie.
As in previous years, we will discount all dessert pies by $3.14. This applies to both the baby and nine-inch size. Right now, we’ve looked at our 2019 numbers and doubled that amount to account for our larger space and our general growth as a company. While we don’t guarantee what flavors will be available, we are taking our final count and focusing on our most popular flavors. And as always, we don’t allow for any pre-orders in order to keep it fair for everyone. The whole point of Pi(e) Day is just to have fun, seriously.
So what’s new this year?
Two things:
We’ve created a Facebook Event for this event. If you like and share the event, we are picking three random people who get to come in to PJP at 9:30 am on Pi(e) Day - that’s 30 minutes before we officially open. You’ll shop for whatever your heart desires and without the pressure of running straight to the White Chocolate Strawberry before someone else beats you to it. (Remember that show Supermarket Sweep and people always hauled directly to the large hams in order to boost their final grocery total? Pi(e) Day always feels like to me, minus the hams.)
We’ve created a Pi(e) Day VIP event for Friday, March 13th. We are selling 50 tickets at $10 each. If you purchase one, you are granted the right to shop on Friday night from 6 pm to 8 pm. You’ll get the Pi(e) Day pricing, plus 14% off any merchandise purchased. Oh, and there will be champagne because it seems fitting and honestly, I’m probably going to need a drink by the time we get to 6 pm on the eve of Pi(e) Day. This is the perfect opportunity for those who already have plans on 3/14 or who want to avoid any long waits on Pi(e) Day. Or honestly, maybe you just want to drink some champagne and hang out with us and take home a baby pie at a discounted price. Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10 am. We have printed tickets for this event, so they must be purchased in the store and not over the phone (or I guess, you could buy them over the phone and stop by to pick them up). Your ticket must be presented at the door on the evening of the 13th. As a bonus, the tickets we made are really cute.
So there’s everything you need to know about Pi(e) Day 2020. And the market value of hams.
