Wetzel’s CEO, Jennifer Schuler describes the bright yellow pretzel truck "like the ice cream truck" coming down the street.

They’ve brought the Wetzel’s Pretzel Food Truck to pass out free pretzels for first responders, hospital workers, a drugstore.

In April they celebrated National Pretzel Day, which is historically their biggest celebration of the year.

With the coronavirus crisis, most of their locations are shut down. You most often find Wetzel's Pretzels at malls but also at LA's Union Station and Dodger Stadium.
