Philly Pretzel Factory Franchise Opportunity

A great pretzel combined with support that feels like family

The first Philly Pretzel Factory opened its doors in 1998 with a concept to serve a soft pretzel “Hot Outta the Oven” to consumers as they walked through the door. This was the vision of the CEO & Co-Founder, Dan DiZio who started selling pretzels at age 11 on the busy intersections of Philadelphia.

In 2004, Philly Pretzel Factory started franchising in and around the Philadelphia area. Growing to locations located in 12 states with 7 consecutive years of same store sales increase, Philly Pretzel Factory has created the product and the infrastructure to grow into a 500-unit chain by 2020.

Our Model is Simplicity

Simple Menu

We offer fresh “hot outta the oven” pretzels and a few other products such as pretzel dogs, pretzel cheesesteaks, pepperoni melts, and cinnamon pretzel twists. We make it as easy as possible to run our system, so we keep our product line limited.

Solid Support

We focus on providing unmatched franchise support through our Franchise Support Managers who work with you to maintain operation efficiency and build sales
through store visits and consistent communication.

Proven Growth

Since our first franchise opened nearly 20 years ago, in-stores sales have continued to grow. In fact, 45% of franchise owners own multiple stores.
