Auntie Anne’s Soft Pretzel

I was killing some time near JCPenney, when I noticed they had finally replaced the Pretzelmaker in the corner with an Auntie Anne’s. So, as usual, a snack makes the time go faster … a garlic-​parmesan pretzel with some cheddar dip plus a soda (their idea of a combination meal). As another reviewer stated, it’s a mall pretzel. But, presented professionally, cheerfully and as promptly as possible (of course, with the Great Bearded Bird’s typical luck, I came up right after a rush; they were making fresh pretzels, and I had to wait a few minutes). While waiting, I fell into conversation with John, the store manager, who was making the pretzels. We found out we had some background in common, and I discovered he is a professional, cheerful, competent old-​school individual. (No surprise; staff usually mirrors management.)
A three-​star pretzel, plus a full star for the boss. Well done, folks; I will be back.

Typical mall pretzel. I prefer wretzels pretzel better normally, but since they don’t have it at this location, I chose this instead.
The samples given are always beyond delicious – very flavorful and just the right temperature – you can’t help but want to get in line for your own. But the ones that they have for sale always pale in comparison when it comes to the sample. The flavor is vague, so I’m sure they make sure that the samples that go out are tossed and tossed again to make sure they get the most on it.

Pretzel was fresh out of the oven. No line so they took their time, which was nice. Came here after my friends were disappointed from the one in Premium Outlet North.

Yummy and delicious quick snack while shopping.
