That opening began a legal dispute with his mother over trademark issues. More recently, Montgomery’s son TJ opened Sweetie Pie’s NoHo in North Hollywood, CA this past year.

The ultimate failure of those plans, as well as a plan to open a Memphis location, were covered on the TV show. We reported the restaurant was close to finalizing a deal with Matthew Knowles, father of international recording superstar and actress Beyoncé. Those expansion plans appear to have stalled.Ī deal in the works in 2014 to expand the Sweetie Pie’s franchise to other cities never panned out. Louis American in 2013, “One of the things that we are battling is if we are going to be able to hold onto the restaurant because of the veteran’s hospital. If they prepare for me to go someplace else, I’m prepared to be a good citizen and move on and make room if that happens.” The VA had eyed the adjacent historic Palladium building as well. That location appeared to be under threat for years, as the adjacent John Cochran Veterans Administration Medical Center eyed expansion for parking.
The success of both locations led Montgomery to open a restaurant, banquet hall, and cooking school in the city’s Grand Center arts district in 2012. The location in The Grove opened in 2006. Sweetie Pie’s was founded by Robbie Montgomery and her son Tim Norman in 1996 in the north St. Each time, customers were surprised by locked doors, inquiries went unanswered, and then the restaurant would re-open. Over the years, the Sweetie Pie’s location on Manchester had closed for extended periods seemingly without notice, leading to speculation that the restaurant had closed.
