History


One of Jesters' first stores in Nedlands, WA

Jesters is a 100% Australian owned and operated business and is the result of a merger between the Sydney-based Shakespeares Pie company and the Jesters Jaffle Pie company in 2005.

Shakespeares Pies' history extends back to 1994 with the first store opened in Manly, NSW and the first Jesters store opening in Perth in 1997.

From May, 2005 all Shakespeares Sydney stores were re-branded to Jesters creating Australia's single biggest branded franchise pie company with over 60 outlets across New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, South Australia and New Zealand.
