Polly’s Pies Celebrates 50 Years in Long Beach

02.18.22

When brothers Eddie and Don Sheldrake opened their third Polly’s Pie location in Long Beach’s California Heights neighborhood in winter of 1972, Richard Nixon was president, the Oldsmobile Cutlass was the most popular car on the highway and gas was 36-cents a gallon. Since then, we’ve elected nine U.S. Presidents, gas is through the roof and Oldsmobile no longer exists, however, the  Sheldrake brothers are still going strong with 13 Polly’s Pies locations. 

A public celebration marking the 50th anniversary of Polly’s Pies in Long Beach will take place starting at 4 p.m. on February 23 through February 27.

The first 200 people to arrive at Polly’s Pies (Long Beach location only) on February 23 after 4 p.m. will receive a signature swag bag that includes a mug, gourmet coffee packs, keychain, mini pie box mystery offer (free bakery items, 20% off purchase, etc.), pie cutter, jam and more. 

“It’s really unusual for a restaurant to remain open in the same location for half a century,” said James Kaa, CEO of Polly’s Pies. “And to have a legacy restaurant still owned by its founders is really quite remarkable. We’re extremely excited to celebrate this milestone with our guests.” 

The first 500 people to dine-in at the Long Beach location on February 23 after 4 p.m and February 24 will enjoy:

Pollyburgers for $2.50

Three-stack pancakes for $1.50

Pie slices for $1

50-cent coffee

The restaurant is located at 3490 Atlantic Avenue just north of the 405 Freeway in the Cal Heights area.  For more information, call 562.595.5651 or visit online at pollyspies.com.

Goodwill of Orange County Opens Bristol Warner Marketplace Location

02.16.22

Goodwill of Orange County just opened its newly relocated Bristol Warner Marketplace location in Santa Ana. 

The new 9,871 square-foot store offers customers an elevated shopping experience and a one-of-a-kind assortment of clothing for all ages, accessories, home décor, electronics, furniture, and more. A drive-up donation center is also located behind the store offering an easy and safe way to drop off gently used goods.

The popular Goodwill store relocated from its previous location in the same shopping center into the new suite.

All store and donation attendant employees from the prior location also moved over to the new store.

Goodwill’s retail outposts generate the revenue needed to operate its mission to provide critical programs and services to Orange County residents who face barriers to employment, including individuals with disabilities and veterans, to find and keep meaningful jobs. For every dollar Goodwill of Orange County spends, more than 92 cents further the nonprofit’s mission to change lives through meaningful employment opportunities. 

Open 9 a.m. – 8 p.m. Monday – Saturday; 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. Sunday.
Donation Hours: 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. Monday – Saturday; 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Sunday.

The Bristol Warner Marketplace store and donation center is located at 2120 Bristol St., Santa Ana.

Goodwill is currently hiring with openings across all departments throughout the county. Interested applicants can apply online at ocgoodwill.org/careers.
