The story

In the 1940s, Ken Macgregor started up a small business in Melbourne manufacturing cakes, yeast buns and pies. By 1954, the owner had moved his family to Perth and restarted his wholesale business as "Bakewell Pies". The business moved to the Morley site from its Northbridge bakery in 1968 and the next generation of the family; Iain Macgregor became the new owner of the business. In the late 1980s, the business had seen vast growth in distribution, new technology and products developed, and the company rebranded to the Mrs Mac's name.

In February 2015, Mrs Mac's appointed Paul Slaughter as CEO. In February 2021, Jonathan Moss took over as CEO after Slaughter left the company.

Mrs Mac's was acquired by Aus Pie Co in November 2022.

In 2014, Mrs Mac's underwent a rebrand. On the back of it, a series of online content was produced highlighting use of 100% Aussie beef, hand-checking as a quality measure, and that their pastry was made the old-fashioned way. They also brought the 'show' on the road with the Roadtrip campaign and the radio Nova Team.
