The opening of a permanent Mr. Pretzels kiosk on Level 1 at CF Markville expands the mall's grab-and-go options with fresh, made-from-scratch pretzels. Featuring custom equipment and an open layout, the layout lets shoppers watch browning and twisting in real-time, driving foot traffic along the lower-level concourse.

Founded in Puerto Rico in 1994, Mr. Pretzels now operates over 300 locations across 20 countries, having entered Canada in 2013. The brand stands out by using a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch recipe to make low-fat, non-GMO pretzels on site, serving options from classic salted and garlic-parmesan to sweet cinnamon sugar and Nutella.

Mr. Pretzels maintains a presence across 12 flagship Cadillac Fairview shopping centres nationwide, part of a broader Canadian network of roughly 71 locations. Positioning kiosks in major shopping centers and transit hubs allows the company to efficiently drive impulse sales while delivering fresh baked goods.
