Sweetie Pie's teases new location 'coming soon' in north St. Louis

ST. LOUIS - Sweetie Pie's, the former St. Louis soul food restaurant once the focus of a reality TV series, seems to be on the verge of a comeback.
Signs posted around one building in north St. Louis tease the return of Sweetie Pie's, saying a new restaurant is "coming soon." FOX 2 spotted signs posted on two buildings in north St. Louis City near Martin Luther King Drive and Kingshighway.
St. Louis Magazine reports that Sweetie Pie's founder Robbie Montgomery purchased a vacant building in the 4900 block of MLK Drive last month with plans for revival. It's unclear how soon the planned Swettie Pie's could open.
The last Sweetie Pie's location in the St. Louis area reportedly closed in 2022.
Sweetie Pie's was formerly the subject of a reality show produced by Oprah Winfrey’s OWN network called “Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s.”
The potential revival of Sweetie Pie's comes after James Timothy “Tim” Norman, who once had ties to the restaurant and TV series, was convicted in a 2016 murder-for-hire plot against his own nephew last year. Norman is serving a life sentence in prison over the death of Andre Montgomery Jr.
