Hostess Fruit Pies

PieGuyFTW, thank you for your post!
I am lucky enough to live here in Los Angeles where your pies
are readily available, and I agree wholeheartedly with
kevaxe2k2, your pies are fantastic, and my favorite is your 
Coconut Creme!   
Your flavors I have discovered so far are:
-Apple
-Berry
-Cherry
-Lemon
-Pineapple
-Coconut Creme
-Chocolate Pudding
-Vanilla Pudding
Are there any others I am missing, or any seasonal flavors as
kevaxe2k2 asked?
Thank you for your wonderful pies, and God Bless the head of Mrs. Redd!

Welcome!  I was fortunate enough to get some of your pies recently from a friend (I'm in Michigan) and they are fantastic!  First one I tried was the chocolate--which was quite good. Then I moved on to the berry, vanilla pudding, cherry, apple, and coconut and they are all fantastic. The filling is top notch and the crust is up there with Tastykake as the best I have had in a snack pie. And the price is amazing! You can tell the filling isn't made on the cheap like some (Little Debbies/JJ's).  Do you do any seasonal flavors or promotional stuff?
REALLY loved the vanilla. Reminded me of the Hostess Vanilla Pudding Pies (with the chocolate crust) that had a run in the mid 80s

 
Hey Kevaxe2k2,
     We carry eight flavors (apple, berry, cherry, chocolate, vanilla, lemon, pineapple, and coconut) year around.  We do not do any seasonal/promotional flavors (we would if there was more of a demand).  We have formulas ready to roll on any type of filling you could imagine and at one time we made 14 different flavors... peach, strawberry, bananna cream, rhubarb.. ect.  But you have to make want people demand.. you know?  I am working on getting the pies to other areas of the US.  We just started shipping to Randalls Markets in Texas and I am working on Dominics Markets in Chicago and Guardinos Markets in Pennsylvania.  Im gonna try to post a pic of a conveyor full of pies so you guys can see... I have been doing this for years, but it is still pretty cool.  I am up for answering any Q's and taking suggestions.
 
Thanks! 

So cool to have your comments...is there a website that provides any additional information? 
 
Is it the Dominicks chain in Chicagoland that your are looking at?

Odd that this is still on the Hostess site:
 
There's nothing more American than apple pie, but millions of Americans would argue about their favorite flavor of Hostess Fruit Pies.  Apple, cherry, lemon, blackberry, strawberry, French apple - a trip to the snack cake aisle can be like visiting a country fruit stand.
 
I believe French Apple was discontinued?

Hey ChiTown,
 
Yes Dominics is the chain we are looking at... they would probably be under the Safeway banner (we private label for them)
 
Thanks,
 
Mrs. Redd's

The hostess fruit pies in many flavors like apple,lemon,cherry and strawberry.I like apple and lemon flavors.

PieguyFTW, I guess you can tell how I feel about your product from my name!
 
Re: " Im gonna try to post a pic of a conveyor full of pies so you guys can see..."
I'd love to see a photo of a conveyor belt full of Mrs. Redd's pies!
 
Also, you mentioned you private-label the Safeway pies.  Are the Safeway pies the
same exact recipes as their corresponding Mrs. Redd's flavor? They seem to be identical?
