No. 83 of the UK's Top 100
Auntie Anne’s core product is pretzels that can be enjoyed at any time of the day, but they also offer a full breakfast bun range, pretzel sandwiches and ‘snack as meal’ products. Every single Auntie Anne’s pretzel is made from scratch on site and is sold within 30 minutes of coming out of the oven, nothing is pre-made or frozen and the brand constantly develops new and innovative products.
Auntie Anne’s stores are found in malls, train stations and airports; a new food truck/mobile concept is currently being developed. A one-stop supply chain delivers Auntie Anne’s products to all UK stores, so the franchisee can order all food products, packaging, cleaning products and smallwares online at competitive prices.
