Wetzel's Pretzels Is Giving Away Free Pretzels In San Diego County

SAN DIEGO, CA — As part of National Pretzel Day on Friday, Wetzel’s Pretzels is celebrating by giving away pretzels for free — with no strings attached.

Wetzel’s will give away one free Original Pretzel per person from 3 p.m. to close Friday at all participating locations. No purchase is necessary to take part in the promotion from the chain, which serves hot-from-the-oven soft pretzels.

Since opening their first location in Redondo Beach 30 years ago, Wetzel’s now has 400 locations across the globe, including stores across San Diego County.

“There’s no better way to celebrate 30 years than our favorite day, National Wetzel Day, allowing us to give back to our beloved fans who are the reason for our storied journey,” Wetzel’s Hillary Frei said. “From our small roots as a tiny SoCal pretzel shop way back in 1994 to where Wetzel’s has gone, it’s remarkable, and we want all of our fans to join us in celebrating our birthday all year long. Wetz Party!”
