Auntie Anne's franchise

Auntie Anne's is a globally celebrated snack food retailer selling a range of delicious pretzels
and wide variety of drinks

With over 1,400 stores worldwide, Auntie Anne's continues to fill the world with our delicious pretzels. Every day we create fresh and hand-baked pretzels that we sell to thousands of our loyal customers. We offer a diverse range of pretzel variations and are proud to say that we are the currently leading the pretzel industry. We are a constantly innovative brand that seeks to add new twists to the classic pretzel —of course, without sacrificing its key elements. Auntie Anne's doesn't just sell pretzels, we sell happiness; as nothing compares to seeing the look on your customer's face when they get a bite of that pretzel deliciously filled with love.

As a franchisee, you will get to operate in a stable market along with a globally loved bran that caters to all. Aunti Anne's unique flavourful and irresistible soft pretzels will draw in customers just by its aroma. You can be placed in shopping centres, work areas, or even at side-walks and still fill your area with its scent. Our continuous success has allowed us a spot in Entrepreneur magazine's top 500 franchises, NMFI's top 50 franchises worldwide, and multiple business awards. With Auntie Anne's you'll get to experience the joy of serving people delicious treats, while working with a franchisor that is unrivalled in the industry.

From the day we meet till the day of your grand opening, we will manage the operations for you! You'll get to enjoy training and support that is globally recognised. Prior to the start of you shop, we will provide you with a comprehensive training programme to teach you all about our proven business model. You'll also get access to our broad library which consists of support reports and materials to supplement you. Throughout your business, we will continue to support you in sales, marketing, advertising, and stocks. Invest in confidence knowing you're doing business with a well-established brand.

Whether you're an individual or partners looking for new opportunities, a corporation seeking to raise their income exponentially, Aunti Anne's has a place for you! We are looking for franchisees passionate about customer service and the food industry (particularly about pretzels). The total investment for the operation of an Auntie Anne's store is around £90,000–£140,000. However, we have financing deals that will offer to shoulder up to 50% of your costs, which leaves you to around £50,000 to £70,000 of personal investment. Overall, we are looking for people willing to commit in spreading our already well-loved pretzels.

It was in 1988 when Anne Beiler —the company's founder— started selling pretzels at a farmer's market in Pennsylvania. In 1992, from a humble market stand Auntie Anne's grew to having 100 stores in the US. Since then, we have grown faster and more significantly as we have been acquired by Atlanta franchisor FOCUS Brands.
