    Shearer's Acquires Pretzel Manufacturing Operation

    Shearer’s Foods has introduced three new pretzel products produced at their recently acquired pretzel manufacturing operation in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania.

    Shearer’s has formulated a new pretzel recipe with extra snap for their one-pound offerings of Thins, Minis and Sticks. Every bite is crispy and crunchy thanks to Shearer’s slow and careful baking process. Thins are great on their own; Minis are perfect for quick and easy snacking—especially in packed lunches; and Sticks are fun for dipping! Shearer’s savory pretzels are yet another example of “Shearer Perfection in Every Bag!” Thins, Minis and Sticks retail for $2.79.

    New packaging in bright, exciting harvest colors, has been unveiled for Shearer’s entire pretzel line up. The bold packaging is easily recognizable on grocery shelves, and new technology assures consumers of complete freshness.

    “This acquisition further expands Shearer’s manufacturing capabilities and allows us to enhance our product offerings to all of our customers in the pretzel category, including our private label and contract manufacturing customers,” says Scott W. Smith, President.

    Shearer’s pretzel products can be found in area grocery and convenience stores. To learn more about Shearer’s products, please contact Mr. Paul Smith, Director of Marketing and Product Development at 330-767-7128 or email him.
