Not happy
Feb 19, 2022 | By Kimberly Woodring
Unfortunately I am unable to give an accurate review on the soft pretzels that I ordered. I ordered them on 2/9 and I paid for 2 day shipping. I received an email they would be delivered 2/11. The pretzels weren't delivered until 2/14. Needless to say they were hard as rocks.
Owner Response: We are very sorry that your pretzels were stuck on a UPS truck in FL for 4 days. I'm happy to hear that we've reshipped them for you on 2/28. Thanks for your patience as we hurry to reship your pretzels.

The perfect surprie
Dec 23, 2021 | By Theresa Shorey
I have used the PA General Store a few times to send gifts. They are reliable, reasonably priced and fun to receive!





Worth the wait
Dec 9, 2021 | By Robert Gable
In college, my roommate and I had season tickets to the Eagles who played at Franklin Field. Before going into the stadium, we would stock up on soft pretzels that were sold at the entrance. Even though the Eagles lost more than they won, we at least enjoyed our pretzels! When I received my soft pretzels in the mail, I was taken back to Franklin Field and the memory of those wonderful pretzels we bought from the vendors. Thank you for bringing back these memories for me!





Soft pretzels
Nov 26, 2021 | By Ann Hoskin
I am originally from Philadelphia and there is nothing like a Philadelphia soft pretzel. They arrive fresh and I either eat them right away or throw them in the freezer and save for those times when I am homesick.





TOTALLY AWESOME
Oct 25, 2021 | By patti combs
THESE PRETZELS ARE THE BEST - YUMMY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AWESOME. WON'T ORDER FROM ANYONE ELSE.





Philly soft pretzels
Aug 14, 2021 | By Kat
We moved to Florida years ago and my husband recently said how much he missed soft pretzels. The only Pretzel Factory near us closed down. So I found these online and when they arrived it was like being back at Reading Terminal Market.
Owner Response: So happy we could give you a taste of home, Kat!





Yummy

Delicious soft pretzels every time I order.





Home Run!
Aug 12, 2021 | By Tom
I was born and raised in Philadelphia. I miss soft pretzels so much and I was delighted to be able to receive them in the mail. They arrived promptly, fresh and just as tasty as I remembered. I appreciated that I was able to buy them in a reasonable quantity, unlike other vendors. I will definitely shop here again.





Soft Pretzels
Jul 1, 2021 | By Carol Britton
Was happy to find Philly pretzels was a little over baked.
Owner Response: I'm sorry your felt the soft pretzels were a little over baked. We do carry soft pretzels from two bakeries... Center City Pretzels, which you ordered, are a darker and dense, more traditional style. Philly Pretzel Factory pretzels tend to be lighter in color and weight. Perhaps those would be more to your liking. I'll reach out to you via email as well. Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your business.





Excellent Gift
Jun 8, 2021 | By Robert M Mason Jr
I was looking for something different to send a friend for his birthday and I found the Pennsylvania General Store. I chose as a gift the soft pretzels. My friend loves the gift and loved the pretzels even more! I will be ordering more for Father's Day!





Just what the Doctor Ordered
Jun 5, 2021 | By Terrell C Harmon
I've been craving a Philly Pretzel since I left The Philly Area in 2008 but returning to work in the area over the years. These pretzels hit it out of the park; the dough, salt and mustard are all original and satisfied my craving and saved me the cost of a plane ticket! Will be ordering again.





Will buy again
May 29, 2021 | By Nancy Smith
Package was delivered to recipient on time and without incident.





Many thanks
May 23, 2021 | By Maryann Worrell
My niece lives in Florida and is going through a tough time fighting Cancer. We spoke about many things we did or ate in Philly growing up. I sent her the pretzels and love mug and she so enjoyed them with her family, making a wonderful memory.
Owner Response: I'm so glad the pretzels were able to bring back wonderful memories and so thoughtful of you to send them to your niece to cheer her up. Thankyou for your business! We're happy to help.

I got these as a mother's day gift for my mum, who's from Philly but now lives in Florida. Pretzels are the number one thing she misses from Philly and she was so excited to get these! They arrived right when I asked them to be delivered and mum said they were delicious!

Some Philly Love!

Our family in Florida loved them!





So Good, I'm Doubling My Next Order
Feb 27, 2021 | By Barbara
I placed my order during the recent winter storms in the northeast. I received several emails from the company keeping me informed of the delays in shipping. When my order arrived, all was fresh and begging to be eaten. I put half of the order in the freezer, but I don't know why-- they were barely in there long enough to get cold when we were eating those, too. We didn't use the enclosed salt packet, but the mustard packs were handy. Next time, I'm ordering twice as many pretzels!





Great gift!
Feb 21, 2021 | By Rebecca
I sent these to a friend in Nebraska for her birthday, and she and her family loved them!!





Philly Pretzels
Feb 12, 2021 | By Cheryl Ruggiero
I ordered a shipment of Philly Pretzels which included a 12 pack of fresh baked pretzels and a box of 15 fresh frozen pretzels and through a delay by UPS, the order was delayed and the pretzels became dry and stale waiting in transit. The PA General Store promptly resent a duplicate order and these pretzels arrived promptly and are absolute delicious!!! Two thumbs up to the PA General Store for their care and commitment to their product!
Owner Response: Thank you for your review! Again, we do apologize for the weather delay that held up your pretzels. But we are so glad you notified us so we could quickly ship out a fresh batch. We certainly are committed to the quality of our products. We appreciate your business and look forward to the opportunity to assist you again in the near future.

Review of recent pretzel order
Jan 28, 2021 | By Lisa Portnoy
I ordered these Philly favorites for our lunch while watching the inauguration. They arrived a day earlier than expected and were fresh and delicious. As a Philadelphia expat living in MD, they are a welcomed part of my childhood.





A lovely gift for nostalgia
Jan 7, 2021 | By LISA BETH CRAWFORD

I sent some soft pretzels to my dad who was born and raised in Philadelphia and now lives on Cape Cod. He was totally tickled by the gift and enjoyed the authentic taste of home while he sat in his easy chair watching the Eagles play.





Nostalgic!
Dec 12, 2020 | By Mark W Bassler
I remember my days as a child in Philadelphia getting the soft pretzel directly from a vendor on the street corner. These pretzels remind me of that. There's nothing like a nice philly soft pretzel and a good movie at home.

These soft pretzels are delicious! Shipping is expensive but they arrive on time and neatly packaged. This was my third order and won't be my last.
Owner Response: We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed the soft pretzels and thank you for your continued business. Due to the perishable nature of this product, expedited shipping may be a bit more. But as I'm sure you may agree, it's worth it when the pretzels arrive to you fresh and delicious. We appreciate your continued support of our small business.

I miss Philly pretzels
Jul 9, 2020 | By Erainer Stewart
My order came as promised. The pretzels were wrapped to keep them fresh. I moved from Philly over 10 years ago. I miss Philly food. It is good to know I can at least order a taste of Philly.





YUM !!!

Gift recipient was thrilled with the Pretzels...said they arrived in great shape (shipped to Florida), and they just LOVED the fact that the order came with mustard!! Truly a hit...
Owner Response: We're glad to hear your recipient loved the Philly soft pretzels and the mustard. Even though the pretzels are great alone, the mustard does compliment them.

Mother's day order
May 19, 2020 | By John Cirame
I order some pretzels to bring to my mother on mother's day. The order was messed up by UPS and not delivered until three days after Mother's day. Penn General Store was great to deal with during this issue. They offered to send a new or receive a refund. It's great to see a company stand behind their service even when it is not thier fault.

Disappointed
May 7, 2020 | By Donna Carroll
The pretzels arrived stale and the pretzels I remember before where larger and bit elongated...it looks like a different supplier
Owner Response: We are sorry your pretzels arrived stale. We will happily refund you. We are using Philly Pretzel Factory at the moment because Center City Pretzel is not operating during our COVID quarantine.





Super pleased!
May 5, 2020 | By Dorothy Kollinger
This is a great little gift, especially for someone who grew up in the area and is nostalgic for a "taste of home". No complaints with the product itself, but shipping was a little expensive.

Apr 14, 2020 | By RICH ROSS
I really enjoyed receiving this gift in the mail. It has been a really long time since i have had one of the tasty Phildelphia soft pretzels. Heating them up and adding salt and mustard brought back some great memories. Now I can have one whenever I want - always a treat.

These are the best soft pretzels I ever had, I so surprised when I opened the box there was a red ribbon around it. Thank you!





Soft Pretzel Lover
Apr 4, 2020 | By Gladys Floyd
Sent my sister, also a soft pretzel lover, a gift of 12 Pennsylvania General Store soft pretzels. She called the minute they arrived, and she was thrilled! We've both been away from wonderful Philadelphia soft pretzels for many years, and the mall pretzels aren't the same thing at all! Thanks for helping me deliver such a wonderful gift.

We are repeat customers - northerners displaced to the South, and missing our Philly pretzels. Thank goodness for the Pennsylvania General Store!





I was pleasantly surprised
Dec 26, 2019 | By Jennifer
I wasn't sure about this purchase but there were other great reviews so I went for it and so glad I did. I bought these for my dad who is from PA and when I gave them to him he was so excited. The only down side was there were no reheat instructions as to oven, toaster, best temp to reheat etc. But he figured it out and tried one and absolutely loved them. He froze the ones he couldn't eat since there were so many so I hope they freeze well. But overall happy I made this purchase.
Owner Response: Hello Jennifer,
Thank you for ordering and enjoying our Soft Pretzels. Each order of soft pretzels should come with reheating instructions and we truly apologize if your order did not come with the instructions. Please feel free to call our call center if you ever have any questions about your order. We will gladly provide the instructions over the phone.
