Gordon Weinberger - Marketing

Gordon Weinberger Entrepreneur

As far as great American success stories go, few entrepreneurs can claim first an ending and then a new beginning to their tale quite like Gordon Weinberger, Founder of Gordon's Pies.

Weinberger, an unforgettable, larger-than-life figure, almost 7 feet tall, weighing 255 pounds, transformed a grassroots business in a sleepy New Hampshire town of five family-owned apple orchards, into a nationwide multi-million dollar corporation using his great-grandmother's apple pie recipe.

Gordon Weinberger started Gordon's Pies at the age of 28 in 1993, becoming a self-made millionaire by the age of 33. He sold his company in January 2002 to Mrs. Smith's Bakeries, the pre-eminent player in pies, which at the time was owned by $1.6 billion Flowers Foods, Inc.

But things were not always this easy for Weinberger. Seven years ago, Gordon Weinberger's pie company was teetering on the edge of extinction. In a stunning admission from Weinberger, he wrote to his suppliers with some bad news: "As you probably know, Gordon's Pies is at a critical juncture. Despite our pies' amazing visibility in the market... not only have we yet to experience a positive cash flow, but we have outstanding invoices with vendors like you."

Gordon Weinberger has taken something as simple as apple pie and transformed it into a powerful new concept called Infinite Persistence - The Power of Never Giving Up.
