The Southern Illinoisan: Philly Pretzel Factory Eyes Carbondale for Growth
The east-coast pretzel franchise looks to grow in Illinois
Philly Pretzel Factory is looking to grow in Carbondale with one to three locations by the spring of 2017. The company is looking at various local locations, such as the Walmart on Main Street, according to the brand's chief development officer, Tom Monaghan.
"We're looking for that right franchise partner, have identified the market and have identified opportunities within the existing Walmart locations in that marketplace," Monaghan told the Southern Illinoisan reporter.
Although the brand is known for their pretzels that are served fresh out of the oven and baked fresh in stores, they also offer specialty items like hot dogs and pretzel sausages.
"We've got what is the combination of two of Philadelphia's culinary experiences, the cheesesteak and the pretzel, what we call a Cheesesteak Pretzel - it's essentially a great beef cheesesteak surrounded by a pocket of our pretzel dough," Monaghan told the reporter.
