Auntie Anne's is by all means a mass market fast food pretzel. However, I've always been fond of them, so I could be writing this with somewhat of a bias. I typically get a plain one whenever I'm in an airport that has an active location.
With mall culture as it were on the decline, the future of Auntie Anne's is certainly unclear. The Irving mall is no exception with regards to the inevitable and obvious end of the centralized brick and mortar era, with a rather herculean footprint and a clear problem with vacancy.
Many AM business meetings will include some sort of sustenance, most typically bagels, donuts, or pastries. I find myself trying to change things up, and a box of Auntie Anne's pretzels are almost always a success. With most participants exclaiming, "Wow, It's been so long since I've had one of these!". While it's certainly a labor of love to fetch a box of them, I've had very good luck utilizing these twisted carbohydrate treats in motivating teams and winning over clients.
While the Irving mall is approaching dereliction, I will come here from time to time just for a classic Auntie Anne's pretzel and maybe a highly caloric lemonade, or an entire box to accompany a Power Point. read more
