Philly Pretzel Factory will convert 11 Pretzel Pretzel locations throughout the St. Louis market to Philly Pretzel Factory locations within the next month, according to a press release.

Philly Pretzel Factory CEO and Co-Founder Dan DiZio met with Pretzel Pretzel franchisees and shared his mission and founding story.

"Since I began selling pretzels on the streets of Philadelphia when I was 11 years old, I envisioned bringing the joy of Philly style pretzels to every corner of the country," DiZio said in the release. "The only people who can rival Philly in their love of pretzels is the St. Louis community, so when I had the opportunity to expand into the area, I jumped at the chance to share our menu with this pretzel-passionate community."

The brand's menu features the traditional Philly style pretzel and also includes pretzel twists, mini pretzels, rivets, pretzel dogs, cheesesteak pretzels and a variety of mustard.

"My goal has always been to deliver delicious pretzels to my community and joining the Philly Pretzel Factory franchise will only further that," Ryan Lawton, owner of Philly Pretzel Factory Ellisville and Ballwin, said in the release. "My community can look forward to more flavors, options, and an even better experience heading their way."

Philly Pretzel Factory has more than 150 franchised locations. The company is based in Philadelphia.
