Unedited text from the post: 

"Hey Cheeky fans we are formally announcing our permanent closing due to other more pressing business interests. We love the PNC Second Street Market and making meat pies but we now have to concentrate on another business leaving us no free time. We had a fabulous 5 years at the Market but time to move on. We will be taking orders for frozen pies the next 3 weeks and we will be open until the end of the month. Thank you for your support."

Owned by Aaron and Bethany Horn, Cheeky Meat Pies specialized in New Zealand-style meat pies.

The couple closed Tasty Measures Cafe at 200 S. Jefferson St. last July after six months in business.

At the time, Bethany Horn said sales at the deli were too slow to justify staying in business.

The couple also formerly operated the snack bar Silver Fern Café at RiverScape MetroPark.

We’ve reached out to the Horns for comments about their future plans.

Hey Cheeky fans we are formally announcing our permanent closing due to other more pressing business interests. We love...
