Pretzel Time, a franchise brand owned by NexCen Brands Inc., began phasing out its own brand in April 2009. As the brand merges into Pretzelmaker, its tag "Freshness with a twist" will be combined with the Pretzelmaker logo.

As part of its merger with Pretzel Time, Pretzelmaker will let go of its old logo, shown here. Pretzelmaker was founded in 1991 and has more than 185 locations.

The consolidation of Pretzel Time into Pretzelmaker will create the second largest soft pretzel brand in the United States with more 365 locations across 47 states and four other countries.

The transition includes the addition of new signage and interior design. Seven Pretzel Time locations have tested the new design and Pretzelmaker branding, and responses from mall developers and franchisees have been positive.

The test market Pretzelmaker stores reveal the variations of the brands' model store.

This newly branded Pretzelmaker store is an example of an airport location and features some of the new color scheme.
