Allentown Philly Pretzel Factory Official Toys for Tots Drop-Off

The Philly Pretzel Factory in Allentown, located at 5942 W. Tilghman St., is an official Toys for Tots drop-off site this holiday season. Owner Jeff Shaedle hopes by partnering with the non-profit, he’ll be able to help less-fortunate families this winter. Toys for Tots is a not-for-profit  program run by the United States Marine Corps, which distributes toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas. Customers who come into the Allentown Philly Pretzel Factory can drop off new, unwrapped toys to be donated to families.

Toys will be collected now through December 2, 2013.

To further promote the cause, Jeff is offering 5 free pretzels and a coupon for $5.00 off a full size party tray for anyone who donates a new and unwrapped toy at the store. He will also be collecting cans for Second Harvest Food Bank. Those who donate canned goods to the location will receive two free pretzels.

Celebrate pretzel day in Milton
by Jonathan Copsey

April 19, 2010

Milton - For those who did not know, April 26 is National Pretzel Day. What's that? You didn't know there was a holiday dedicated to the pretzel? They're practically a national dish, along with the likes of hot dogs and pizza. Of course there'd be a holiday. And luckily, Milton's own Philly Pretzel Factory is celebrating it.

As the only PPF franchise in Georgia, owners Steven and Jill Erhardt don't take the responsibility of honoring the bread concoction lightly. For starters, they're giving away one free pretzel to everyone who comes into their store on Pretzel Day (you can also get another free one by Friending them on Facebook).

"I live here but I'm originally from Philly," said Steven Erhardt, explaining why he opened the business. "Everyone likes pretzels. So this was a good idea." To help get Georgians accustomed to the ancient Germanic snack food, the Erhardts have been shopping their pretzels throughout the metro area. Georgia Tech has been receiving "GT"-shaped pretzels for all their sports games. The Vortex bars downtown have also been equipped with spiral-shaped pretzels. Other universities are soon to be added to the list as well. (Read More)
