Public profile metrics.
Philly Pretzel Factory is a Bensalem, Pennsylvania fast casual soft-pretzel franchisor headquartered at 1525 Ford Rd. Dan DiZio and college friend Len Lehman opened the first retail shop in Philadelphia's Mayfair neighborhood in 1998, turning a childhood love of Philadelphia soft pretzels into a factory-fresh storefront that hand-twists and bakes pretzels throughout the day instead of relying on wholesale warehouse bakeries alone. The partners later franchised the concept, spreading hand-twisted pretzels, dips and mustard-led snack culture beyond the original Frankford Avenue flagship while keeping production standards and custom equipment central to the brand. Philly Pretzel Factory is the concept, and the company operates as its franchisor with nearly all locations franchised to local owner-operators. The footprint is Mid-Atlantic–focused with additional multi-state U.S. markets beyond the Pennsylvania and New Jersey core. Restaurants are fast casual and serve lunch and dinner with pretzel-led snack menus of classic soft pretzels, flavored twists, dips and related grab-and-go items. Typical units seat about 30 guests in roughly 1,250 square feet, reflecting compact retail pretzel shops oriented to counter service and quick visits.
