Knoxville, TN, March 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pi Day is March 14th<\/sup>, an annual event dating back to 1988. That\u2019s when physicist Larry Shaw with the Exploratorium in San Francisco realized that the date 3\/14 echoes the first three digits of pi, a constant value used in math to represent the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. In a team-building effort at the Exploratorium, Shaw invited employees for pie and tea on 3\/14 at precisely 1:59 pm. The first five numbers of pi are 3.14159, and pies are typically round, like a circle, so Shaw\u2019s precise timing and choice of dessert were no accidents \u2013 and Pi Day was born. On March 12, 2009, the U.S. Congress ensured the holiday\u2019s success when they recognized 3\/14 as National Pi Day.<\/p>\n

\n Buttermilk Sky Pie<\/u>
\n <\/a>, a national franchise network of local pie shops, is celebrating Pi Day 2021 by donating to one middle school in each community that hosts a locally owned Buttermilk Sky Pie Shop. \u201cMiddle school is typically when students learn basic geometry and are introduced to the concept of pi, a non-terminating, non-repeating, \u2018infinite\u2019 decimal,\u201d said Scott and Meredith Layton, founders of Buttermilk Sky Pie. \u201cWe thought that Pi Day would be the perfect time to thank the teachers for their infinite energy and the never-ending support they bring to our kids every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Laytons founded Buttermilk Sky Pie in 2013 and have grown their original Knoxville, TN shop into a network of local business owners with a love of baking, a passion for pies, and a mission of connecting people.\u00a0 Buttermilk Sky\u2019s Pie It Forward<\/u><\/a> program allows each pie shop location to partner monthly with a local charitable organization to donate a portion of the sales of a designated pie flavor to that group. \u201cBeing involved in their communities is especially important to our franchise family,\u201d said Scott Layton. \u201cThe \u2018Pie It Forward\u2019\u00a0program helps them reach out to the organizations in their communities who need a helping hand in a real and meaningful way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Buttermilk Sky Pie Shops take visitors back to a time when pies were handmade with love,\u201d said Meredith Layton.\u00a0 \u201cFrom the nostalgic d\u00e9cor to the mercantile shelves, every Buttermilk Sky Pie Shop provides the warm and delicious experience of Southern tradition. Our shop owners bake pies from scratch daily in a variety of sizes and flavors<\/u><\/a>, using simple, real ingredients and time-honored, proprietary recipes. And our Ship a Pie<\/u><\/a> option means that everyone can enjoy the goodness of a Buttermilk Sky Pie, even if there is no local shop in their town yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n About Buttermilk Sky Pie Shop<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

The Buttermilk Sky Pie Shop was born out of the love for family. The husband-and-wife team of Scott and Meredith Layton, who founded the business in Knoxville, TN, in 2013, grew up in their grandmothers\u2019 kitchens. The memories of Scott\u2019s Granny and Meredith\u2019s Nanny inspired the creation of the Buttermilk Sky Pie Shop which offers delicious pies and other handmade desserts in a unique and warm environment based on their southern traditions and heritage. Buttermilk Sky Pie Shop has 17 shops in seven states and has been featured in Franchise Times magazine, the Travel Channel, the Cooking Channel, and Taste of the South magazine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
