History

History

How did the Greatest Soft Pretzel Come Into Existence?

Ben's Soft Pretzels was started in 2008 in America's heartland by three visionary entrepreneurs who were passionate about great-tasting food. Scott Jones, Brian Krider, and Benjamin Miller co-founded Ben's Soft Pretzels after a divine sequence of events brought the three businessmen together. The recipe for our delicious soft pretzel was a result of a labor of love by Ben and his wife on their Amish homestead.

The first Ben's Soft Pretzels bakery opened in 2008 in Concord Mall in Elkhart, Indiana, and the first franchise was awarded in 2013.

Today there are more than 150+ Ben's Soft Pretzels bakeries in 17 states!
