Hot Sam Pretzels was a chain of soft pretzel franchises in the United States.
Julius Young opened the first outlet opened at Livonia Mall in a Detroit suburb in Michigan.[1][2]
In 1971, the owners sold the company to General Host, who then owned the Detroit-based retailer Frank's Nursery & Crafts. General Host sold it again in 1986.[3]
Located mainly in shopping malls, Mrs. Fields acquired the chain in 1995. Mrs. Field's purchased Pretzel Time in 1996 and merged the two chains under the Pretzel Time brand. The last 10 locations were converted in 2005.[4]
