At one time the Four N Twenty and Noon Factories were both located in Kensington.
Noon relocated to the Northern Suburbs, Preston I think it was late 1960s early 1970s.
Noon Pies were sold to a. Sydney company.and eventually disappeared from the Market.

Who else remembers the Herbert Adams Shops?
The Coles and Myer Cafeterias sold oval pies, I am fairly sure they were Herbert Adams.

Where I grew up there was a Herbert Adams Shop and diagonally across the road there was an Austrian Pastry Shop that made excellent Pies and awesome Coffee Scrolls.

Patties own the Four and Twenty, Herbert Adams and National Pies Brands.
I read that Patties was sold to a Private Equity firm in 2016.

Coulda sworn Noon were square when I was a kid in the 60s?
But you could be right mate…
Four-n-twenty factory was originally in Union Rd Ascot Vale before outgrowing it and moving to Ken… I went to Ascot Vale West primary and used to walk over to Fourntwenty in Union Rd where they had a shop at front of their factory..
(35 union rd now looks like its units)
