FAT Brands chief development officer Taylor Wiederhorn said: “Canadian Cookie Enterprises, Inc. has proven to be an integral expansion partner for Pretzelmaker in Canada throughout the past two decades.
“Building on their existing footprint of 52 Canadian units, we are pleased to finalize a new development agreement to build 25 additional locations throughout the country.
“This growth underscores our dedication to international growth as we continue to scale the Pretzelmaker brand.”
Pretzelmaker, which is known to offer hand-rolled snacks and all-natural lemonade, opened its first location in 1991.
Since then, the brand expanded its footprint and currently operates more than 280 locations worldwide. It continues to innovate its breakfast, late-night and standalone drive-through concepts.
In July this year, Pretzelmaker opened its second drive-through location in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
The new Pretzelmaker Cedar Rapids drive-through restaurant is located at 1115 Blairs Ferry Road NE.
The first Iowa drive-through location in Mason City.
Pretzelmaker president Allison Lauenstein said: “Expanding our drive-through model continues to be a key growth objective for the brand. Our guests were extremely receptive to the model in Mason City, Iowa, so we expect a similar response in Cedar Rapids.”
