FREE CONTENT: Smales Pretzel Bakery opens in Dayton Arcade — complete with a mustard bar
When I think of pretzels, I think of the episode of the show “The Office” when the employees wait in a line for a pretzel, and with the character named Stanley taking the day very seriously. If you don’t get that reference, no worries, because there is a good chance you will understand his love for pretzels. Which brings us to this delicious story from Kailey Bree about Smales Pretzel Bakery officially opening a second location within the North Arcade retail space here in downtown Dayton. The new location is walking distance from our newsroom, which may be my favorite bit of news for this morning.
