Chances to Win Free Pretzels, Soft Drinks, and a Busch Gardens® Vacation

Lancaster, Pa. (October 12, 2012) – You’ve probably noticed an Auntie Anne’s® crewmember standing in front of your local store, offering samples of fresh, hot pretzels.

Now, Auntie Anne’s is providing an additional incentive for guests to take a risk-free taste of specific pretzel products each Saturday starting Oct. 13 and concluding in stores on Saturday, Nov. 10.

Over the next five weeks, Auntie Anne’s stores nationwide will participate in Sampling Saturdays by providing bite-sized samples of the featured pretzel or sips of the featured lemonade flavor. In addition to receiving the sample, guests will be provided with scratch-off cards to try their luck at winning instant prizes, including free Signature Pretzels and free 21-ounce fountain drinks. Signature pretzels include Original, Cinnamon Sugar, Sweet Almond, Garlic, Sour Cream and Onion, Sesame, and Jalapeño.
