The story of Polly’s Pies Restaurants began in 1968 when brothers Don and Eddie Sheldrake opened a little space in Fullerton called Polly’s Pie Palace. It served just pies, coffee and sandwiches. But it was a hit. And soon Don and Eddie and their growing team of associates enlarged the space to accommodate more guests and more menu items.
Then the team ventured into a second location in Orange; then a third in Long Beach; a fourth in Santa Ana; a fifth in Whittier, and so on. Thus began the steady growth of the Polly’s Pies family dining concept.
There are now 15 Polly’s in Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside counties, including our two newest Polly’s in Montebello and Torrance, which were added in 2009.
In 2005, the company actually built from its own plans and ideas a wonderful restaurant in Norco that has been very successful. Attractive and spacious, it’s a western-themed building with a unique water tower sign that’s visible from the I-15 freeway. (Hint: stop by on your way to or from Las Vegas or Apple Valley. Maps are on this web site.)
What are some of the things that make Polly’s unique? For starters, each and every Polly’s makes from scratch and bakes in its own ovens all the loaves of bread, muffins, cinnamon rolls, dinner rolls, cornbread, cookies, and pies that it sells.
Also, Polly’s breakfast, lunch and dinner menus have an array of creative entrees designed and tested to assure broad appeal. There are old time favorites and new, created-just-for-Polly’s specials. And the price for both is always right!
After over 40 years in the foodservice business, Polly’s attributes its success, however modest by the standards of the big chains, to the loyalty of its guests, many of whom today are from the second, third, and even fourth generations of families who considered Polly’s to be one of their favorite restaurants from its beginnings in 1968.
Polly’s also believes it has been successful because it has been faithful to its mission statement and to its belief in integrity, quality and value; and because it deeply values the contributions that its great associates, team members, and vendors make and have made to its success. Polly’s reputation in the restaurant business is one of innovation and regional leadership in both customer service and food quality.
Please come in and enjoy our fresh, tasty food and drink, served with a special style of friendliness. You might even see Don or Eddie in the restaurant – they’re still the company’s owners and managers. We’ll guarantee that you will, to quote from our mission statement, “be glad you chose Polly’s.”
