We've been a little quiet here lately but still actively making pretzels and supplying our fabulous vendors. On that note, we're happy to announce we just partnered with Thomas E. Strauss, Inc. (the company that owns Miller's Smorgasbord, Smokehouse BBQ & Brews, Plain & Fancy, etc.) and will have our pretzels in their Locally Made Food Shop!

This extends our distribution a little farther east so stop out and check out all of the wonderful things they have to offer...and pick up some pretzels while you are there!

Congratulations to our April 2026 Employees of the Month, Julia and Tamesa! 🎉

Julia, from our Finance team, is being recognized for her ownership, patience, accountability, and willingness to step in wherever she is needed.
