About Garlos Pies
The Future of Garlo's
In May 2013, the Garlick family moved their Head Office and Bakery to a brand new, purpose built 1350sq. metre facility in St. Peters Sydney. coincidentally the new home of Garlo's is only 900 metres from their old site in St. Peters where they lovingly made their pies since 2001. the new baking facility has a current capacity to produce over 4500 units an hour, but also flexible enough to custom manufacture any pastry product you may desire.
From April 2014, Garlo's Pies are now available across Queensland
.Garlo's Pies is now available right throughout Queensland through Coles Supermarkets and IGA supermarkets.
If you can't find them in store, ask for Garlo's by name. Garlo's have a magnificent range of 7 varieties from Lean Beef, Chicken Breast, Chunky Steak Curry Beef, Sausage Roll, Family Lean Beef and Junior Lean Beef (12packs). There is something for the whole family
Garlo's new 'Super Bakery' up and running, from September 2016
Having outgrown our St Peters factory, Garlo's have opened a brand new bakery at 5 Garema Circuit Kingsgrove NSW 2208. Four times the size of St Peters, and conveniently located, the new premises will take Garlo's into the future with new pie ranges, and more and more outlets.
