Salty, twisty thrills in St. Charles

St. Charles, MO

While delivering our print newsletters and recipe booklets* last month, giddiness washed over me as I spied Pretzel Stop, a drive-through pretzel stand in St. Charles.
I purchased one soft pretzel, salted, nothing too fancy for me (a purist). Oh boy did it hit the spot. I was feeling droopy from all the walking and driving. It was the pick-me-up needed to finish my route. I didn’t even feel guilty about spending the money, because it only cost a little over a dollar.
There are cinnamon-sugar pretzels, pretzel bites, stuffed pretzels (pretzel brat/pretzel Italian sausage), gourmet and regular pretzel dips. They even offer pretzel platters.
Anyway, I enjoyed a Pretzel Stop treat again the other day (after snapping a photo of the almost-open Heritage Museum) and noticed signs for Pretzel Stop’s Grand Opening celebration. By the way, this isn’t a paid ad or endorsement or anything…just a community observation.
Here’s the scoop:
