Auntie Anne's® Ups the Ante on National Pretzel Day with FREE Pretzel Giveaway and Chance to Win Pretzels for a Year

Elevating the excitement, Auntie Anne's today announced that five lucky app users will also be selected at random to receive free pretzels for a year! The winners of this pretzel perfect prize will be announced on National Pretzel Day. Pretzel fans who have not yet joined the ranks of the nearly one million "My Pretzel Perks" app users are encouraged to do so before 11:59 p.m. EDT on Monday, April 25, 2016 for their chance to win.

"We're thrilled to kick things up a notch this year for National Pretzel Day to show our amazing and loyal fans just how much they mean to us," said Heather Neary, president of Auntie Anne's. "Sharing simple goodness is at the core of everything we do all year long, and we're excited to be able to spread joy on a grander scale for this very special occasion."

The "My Pretzel Perks" app is available for download for free in the Apple App Store and the Android Google Play Store. Through the app, users earn 10 points for every $1 spent at any Auntie Anne's location. The points can then be redeemed for free pretzels and signature Auntie Anne's items. "My Pretzel Perks" loyalty members also receive free pretzels on their birthday and information about fresh, new products.

Auntie Anne's offers its hand-rolled soft pretzel in a variety of flavors including Original, Cinnamon Sugar, Pepperoni, Roasted Garlic & Parmesan, Sour Cream & Onion, and Sweet Almond. For guests on-the-go, Auntie Anne's also offers a wide selection of portable menu items including Original, Cinnamon Sugar and Cheddar Stuffed Pretzel Nuggets. And for those who need a little something extra in between meals, Auntie Anne's offers a number of heartier, "hold-you-over" options such as Pretzel Dogs and Mini Pretzel Dogs. With eight different dips and a variety of drinks to accompany each pretzel, the combinations of possibilities are endless.
