Opening of Grateful Pie Company in Commerce Center on the East Race
South Bend, IN – February, 2023 – Matthews LLC is excited to announce the opening of the Grateful Pie Company, a new and innovative restaurant incubator tenant in the Commerce Center on the East Race. Grateful Pie Company, owned by Barbara Funnell, a passionate Grateful Dead fan, brings a unique and delicious dining experience to the South Bend community.
