Is Auntie Anne a real person?
Yes. Auntie Anne is actually Anne Beiler, who founded Auntie Anne’s in 1988. She and her husband Jonas opened a farmer’s market stand that originally sold many different snack foods, including pretzels, as well as her special Old-Fashioned Lemonade. This stand was created to help finance their dream of opening a free family counseling center in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. After a mix-up with some ingredients, and a little experimentation, the dough our company uses for all our fresh pretzels was born, and so was Auntie Anne’s. After a few weeks, Anne stopped selling everything but these delicious, fresh pretzels. In 2005, Anne retired from the company and is pursuing her family’s dream – helping give back to the community of Lancaster. But she still loves the pretzels and the company she created.
