BRING HANDCRAFTED
BLISS TO YOUR COMMUNITY

What began as a single stand selling handmade pretzels and fresh-squeezed lemonade at a Pennsylvania farmer’s market has since become the largest hand-rolled soft pretzel franchise in the world. The recipe for Auntie Anne’s® global success is simple: we prioritize people, remain committed to quality and never underestimate the power of a freshly baked soft pretzel to uplift someone’s day.
