Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery

Located in historic Lititz, Pennsylvania, Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery stands as the first commercial pretzel bakery in America. Established in 1861, it proudly upholds traditional recipes and methods from the Sturgis Family, the oldest pretzel baking family in the country.
