Marie Callender's was established in 1948 when Marie's great cooking and passion for making delicious pies inspired her to bake pies for local restaurants. Marie and her family sold their car for $700 and used the money to pay for one month's rent on a reconverted World War II army Quonset hut and down payment on a small oven, refrigerator, rolling pin and kitchen tools. Marie's pies quickly became a hit and she went from baking 10 pies to 40 pies a day.
