Qsr Magazine:

Auntie Anne’s Pretzels announced today that it is continuing its global expansion with the addition of stores in two new countries, Honduras and Greece. This development brings the chain’s worldwide presence to 935 locations in 14 countries.

Our success in 12 other countries outside the U.S. proves that Auntie Anne’s freshly baked soft pretzels and other delicious menu items are a hit with consumers around the world,” says President and CEO Sam Beiler. “International expansion is a key component to our growth plans, and we are thrilled to be adding Honduras and Greece as the newest countries to our system.”

The first Honduras location was opened on October 5, 2007, in Tegucigalpa by franchisee PD Pretzel Central America S.A., managed by New Hampshire resident Paul Delisle, his wife Rosa and brother-in-law, Mario Zavala. Delisle has already successfully developed a number of video rental stores in the country’s capital, Tegucigalpa, with his Honduran family, and plans to channel the senior managers into the Auntie Anne’s franchise. PD Central America S.A. has signed an agreement to open six Auntie Anne’s locations over the next five years.
