Welcome to Tom Sturgis Pretzels, Inc. This is our bakery and pretzel store (shown above) in Shillington, PA, near Reading. We have been at this location since 1970.  Many modifications and additions have been made to our building and baking equipment over the years in order to continue to bake using "old fashioned" techniques in a modern world.  
In 2004 we installed an additional pretzel baking line which incorporates many of the processes our family has learned in the years since 1861 when Julius Sturgis (the first of five generations of pretzel bakers) began the commercial pretzel baking industry in the United States.
We are continually testing and perfecting our recipes on the new equipment to be sure that the end result is equal to or surpasses our high standard of quality we consistently achieve with our famous stone hearth ovens.
In the Reading, Pennsylvania area (known as the pretzel capital of the world), we have baked pretzels in seven different bakery locations.
A photo of the pretzel bakery our family baked in from 1953 to 1970 is shown above.

Marriott "Tom" Sturgis (third generation pretzel baker) was born in Lititz, PA.  He was responsible for bringing the Sturgis pretzel baking family to Reading in the 1920's.
