Wetzel’s Pretzels Opening this Fall at Walden Galleria

— Industry snack leader and pretzel bakery to open a location inside the area’s largest shopping center  —

Buffalo, NY: Wetzel’s Pretzels, the 350-unit national pretzel chain, is opening a bakery location at Walden Galleria this fall. The innovative snack leader’s new store will be located in a 1,350 sq. ft. space on the upper level of the shopping center next to Verizon. Known for inspiring handheld happiness, guests will be able to enjoy their fresh-baked, buttery pretzels in more ways than one. Whether its an Original Pretzel snack on the go, shareable and dip-able Cin-A-Bitz with made-from-scratch Sweet Glaze, or a Wetzel Dog meal with an ice-cold lemonade, Wetzel’s guarantees happiness in the palm of your hand.

Every Wetzel’s Pretzels bakery lives by the original vision of its founders, Bill Phelps and Rick Wetzel, who opened their first bakery in Redondo Beach, California in 1994. Since day one, their promise has been that each super-premium pretzel will be crafted from fresh dough and baked in-store consistently throughout the day to ensure a delicious offering for each customer.

Today, Wetzel’s has grown to more than 350 fresh bakeries across the United States and around the world, including premier locations at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort. Their new location opening at Walden Galleria is part of the brand’s development plan of adding more than 40 new stores this year.
