White Rhino Coffee
Audio By Carbonatix
Dallas-born and based White Rhino Coffee announced this morning that it has purchased Emporium Pies, one of Dallas’ most popular pie shops.
Emporium Pies originally launched its quaint pie business in a Victorian bungalow in the Bishop Arts District in 2011, quickly expanding to multiple locations around North Texas. The shop became popular for large soul-satisfying staples like the French silk Smooth Operator, Lord of the Pies (a deep-dish apple pie), and many others. The pie shop prided itself on baking with high-quality ingredients without hydrogenated oils, artificial preservatives, dyes or corn syrup.
In 2022, Landon Perdue, Jen Abohosh and Addie Roberts bought the company from the original owners.
White Rhino was founded in 2007 as a third space in neighborhoods (after home and work).

Addie Roberts and the baking team at Emporium Pies will continue to work alongside the team at White Rino Coffee to ensure a seamless transition. Sara Escamilla, CEO of White Rhino Coffee, ensures the pies will continue to be made with high-quality ingredients.
Per a press release, business will operate as usual for now, and White Rhino Coffee plans to “explore expanding Emporium Pies’ footprint across the Dallas-Fort Worth area.” Additionally, there will be “thoughtful collaborations and menu integrations in the future, including signature pie-and-coffee pairings.”
“For now, it simply means coffee and pie – two of life’s best comforts – can be enjoyed across both brands,” said Escamilla, an idea we can fully get behind.
