Pretzel Maker is small, yet packs a big punch of flavor for the pretzel lovers of the world. First opened in 1991, Pretzel Maker now has over 360 locations worldwide; this franchise must be doing something right and its location in Great Lakes Mall in Mentor, Ohio, is no exception. For those leaving the mall after a tiring afternoon of shopping, with just enough juice to walk back to the car, a pretzel can be exactly the thing you need.
