Plus they are a Pa product from Reading. Their Craft Beer Rings are good also

We Are...Pretzel City. At one point there was I believe over 30 pretzel making businesses in Reading. Nothing like a fresh soft pretzel. We used to buy them by the bag at Bell Alley near my childhood home.

Frustrating that I wasn't in a position to get to a Pretzel Factory or any other store today, where they give out free soft pretzels on National Pretzel Day.

Pennsylvania is Number 1! Where do you get your pretzels? My choice is Hammonds, but I can’t get there anymore. :(
Used to work at Armstrong, headquartered in Lancaster. Every trip up I brought some Hammonds back with me to Maryland. Went right to their tiny “plant” behind a row home and had them hand picked right out of oven. Preferred the “burnt” Great pretzels!

I grew up near there and used to take a can from there which they would fill with “brokers” for about 75cents. I think it held 5 pounds. I’d probably go once a week.

You guys are slipping....
Nothing beats Sarris Chocolate covered pretzels. The perfect blend of salty and sweet. From the home of Bobby Vinton and Perry Como, Canonsburg, PA. How about Penn State pretzels! Sturgis' horse and buggy pretzels. When we lived in Enola, we'd go to Lititz and bring back big bags of broken pretzels that were good and so inexpensive. With Herlocher's dipping mustard, da absolute bomb!!!
