Beloved Pretzel Chain Eyes Expansion With Second Worcester Location

WORCESTER, MA — A popular bakery chain is seeking a second location in the city.

Wetzel's Pretzels, known for its fresh-baked soft pretzels, filed a request for a Common Victualer license to be decided at a License Commission meeting on Thursday. The chain is proposing a location at 25 Tobias Boland Way, the current site of a Walmart Supercenter.

Wetzel's Pretzels told Patch that the store would open in the fall of 2026.

According to the filing, the store would be open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week.

This is just the latest of the business's happenings in Worcester. Wetzel's Pretzels, Cold Stone Creamery, and Planet Smoothie opened a tri-brand location in July. That's located at 531 Main St.

The chain has two other locations in Massachusetts, including Braintree and Peabody.
