Guests can immerse themselves in the origins of the American pretzel industry and appreciate the enduring legacy of Julius Sturgis. From the assortment of pretzel shapes, sizes, and souvenir packaging available, to the warm hospitality extended during group tours, the bakery offers a unique experience for all ages in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country.
