Celebrating 30 Years of We’re Rolling Pretzel Company

For 30 years, We’re Rolling Pretzel Company has been bringing the taste of freshly baked pretzels, beverages, and good memories to our communities. What began as a passion for making delicious, hand-crafted pretzels has grown into a company built around our customers, our associates, and the communities we are proud to serve. As we celebrate three decades of We’re Rolling Pretzel Company, we’re taking a moment to look back at where we started, remember the people and moments that helped shape our journey, and celebrate everything that has made these 30 years so special. Most importantly, we want to thank everyone who has been a part of our story. 30 years later, we’re still rolling!


Where It All Began: Carnation City Mall

Our story began in October of 1996 at Carnation City Mall in Alliance, Ohio, where We’re Rolling Pretzel Company opened its very first location. From that first storefront, we began sharing our freshly baked pretzels with the Alliance community and laying the foundation for the company we are today. It was the beginning of a journey that would grow far beyond our first location—and 30 years later, we’re still rolling!

The Evolution of “Rolly”

Over the years, our beloved mascot, Rolly, has changed in appearance while remaining a recognizable part of the We're Rolling Pretzel Company family. From the original hand-drawn sketch to the first colorful design and today's more detailed illustrations, each version represents another part of our story. As we celebrate 30 years of We're Rolling, we're taking a look back at how Rolly has evolved along the way!
