Wetzel's Pretzels sets up shop in Southern Texas

March 3, 2017

Wetzel's Pretzels is expanding into South Texas with a new location at The Outlets at Corpus Christi in Robstown, Texas. This location will offer its full line of pretzels, Wetzel's Dogs, Bitzs, lemonade and more, according to a press release.

The company bakes all of its products from scratch with flour, filtered water, yeast and salt. The company's franchise partner Jigar Shah helped set up the Corpus Christi location. The company plans to open four more Wetzel's Pretzels locations in the next three years.

"We're thrilled to kick off our South Texas expansion on the heels of Wetzel's twelfth straight quarter of same-store sales growth," Bill Phelps, co-founder and CEO of Wetzel's Pretzels, said in the release. "While malls and non-traditional locations continue to pay off for our brand, we also see tremendous growth opportunities in outlet centers, such as the The Outlets at Corpus Christi. Our consistent sales growth across all these locations speaks to the strength of the Wetzel's Pretzels brand and its products."
