who owns Auntie Anne’s?
Auntie Anne’s got its start in 1988 when Anne Beiler bought a stand in a Pennsylvania farmer’s market. After some experimentation, “Auntie” Anne created a masterpiece, the same freshly baked goodness you know and love.
Today it’s the largest soft-pretzel franchise in the world, and its 1,200 outlets can be found in malls, airports, and boardwalks in 26 countries. Auntie Anne’s is now owned by Focus Brands, and it generated sales of $410 million in 2012. Beiler, 64, grew up in an Amish community and credits that upbringing for much of her success. Her story is in her own words.
Focus Brands is an American company that is an affiliate of the American private equity firm Roark Capital Group that currently owns the Schlotzsky’s, Carvel, Cinnabon, Moe’s Southwest Grill, McAlister’s Deli, Auntie Anne’s, and Jamba brands.
