Keith Johnson saw how much his family enjoyed eating soft pretzels at a local farmers’ market and thought pretzels would be a great concept to franchise in malls. He worked at creating his own recipe for pretzels and, once the recipe was perfected, in 1992 opened the first The Pretzel Twister store in Naples, Florida. Mister Twister Pretzels operates the Pretzel Twister snack food chain, with about 40 franchised locations that specialize in soft pretzels. The eateries feature such pretzel flavors as Caramel Crunch, Cinnamon, and Toasted Almond; the company also sells flavored pretzel dips and smoothies. Its outlets are located primarily in shopping malls in Florida, North Carolina, and 10 other southeastern states. Founder Keith Johnson started the Pretzel Twister chain in 1992 after seeing families eat soft pretzels at a farmer's market.
