History

The first Pretzel Time store opened in Trumbull, Connecticut [7-Aug-2007. http://nexcenfm.com/press_release31.html. Retrieved 14-Apr-2008.] . The company was originally incorporated as Mr. Pretzel Inc. in 1991, but quickly changed its name to Pretzel Time by the time it became a popularly franchised mall-based store in the Northeast [8-Sep-20-1999. http://sec.edgar-online.com/1999/09/08/18/0000927356-99-001472/Section11.asp. Retrieved 14-Apr-2008.] .

Pretzel Time claims to be creator of the “pretzel-dog,” in which the hand-rolled pretzel dough is wrapped around the hot dog and baked, as well the portable, bite-size version of the snack, pretzel bites. Pretzel dogs and pretzel bites have since become well-known and are top sellers among Pretzel Time and other competitor pretzel chains [17-Jan-2005. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3190/is_3_39/ai_n8709067. Retrieved 14-Apr-2008] .

In 1998, Pretzel Time was bought by Mrs. Fields Famous Brands, which at the time looked to cement its status as leader of the baked snacks quick service franchises [7-Dec-1998. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3190/is_49_32/ai_53382067. Retrived 14-Apr-2008] . However, the Pretzel Time and Pretzelmaker brands were sold to NexCen in 2007 for a combined transaction total of $29.7 million [7-Aug-2007. http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=109&STORY=/www/story/08-07-2007/0004641372&EDATE=.
