Scenes from The Pie Safe Bakery & Cafe on Wednesday, March 11, 2020, in Pocahontas. Housed in what used to be a bank and built in 1910, Sharon Penrod, who operates the establishment, said The Pie Safe opened June 12, 2012. “It’s cause I like to talk,” Sharon said when asked if she enjoyed her job. Although she’s had some help at times in the past, Sharon is a one-woman show at The Pie Safe. Sharon said her husband, Monte Penrod, restored the whole building.
