From Kitchen to Shelf

Founded in 2014, by mother-daughter duo Lynn and Stephanie Kriebel, OMG! Pretzels are a family affair and come by our name honestly.  Lynn, the matriarch of the Kriebel family, has been making the garlic flavored pretzels – our flagship product – for decades. The savory pretzels started as snacks for her kids throughout their childhood and evolved into part of her entertaining repertoire for friends and holiday gatherings.

We knew we had something special on our hands after repeated requests from friends to sell our ridiculously delicious pretzels. The name for the brand was a natural fit since it is the common reaction people have when they try our bold and innovative flavors. Once you pop one in your mouth, ‘OMG!’ comes popping out! And so, OMG! Pretzels was born. We love getting to share our scrumptious pretzels with others to enjoy for special occasions and making memories just as we have for decades.

Now, OMG! Pretzels are available on Amazon, our website, and shelves at specialty retailers across the country. Through Stephanie’s leadership, we have seen substantial growth while ensuring that our pretzels maintain the premium quality and fabulous flavor for which OMG! Pretzels are known. Our gourmet sourdough pretzel nuggets – available in eight bold flavors – are made with wholesome ingredients and lots of love. Straight out of the bag, our pretzels are the ultimate snack.

HISTORY OF OMG! PRETZELS

  • 2014

    2014

    First Year

    OMG! Pretzels officially launched in Plymouth Meeting, right inside the kitchen of matriarch Lynn Kriebel. Another women-owned business, Ana’s Corner Store, was our very first merchant partner who helped introduce our pretzels to the market.

    2015

    Second Year

    Through partnerships with small local merchants in the Philadelphia region, such as beer distributors and specialty food stores, we doubled our sales in the first year of operation.

    2016

    Third Year

    Due to increased sales, it became necessary to move production out of Lynn’s kitchen to a local American Legion commercial kitchen space. OMG! Pretzels developed a variety of partnerships to increase market share, including the first family-owned grocer, McCaffrey’s Market in Blue Bell, PA along with a local distributor in Allentown, PA who helped get the flavored pretzels to more than 100 markets and specialty food stores across eastern PA and New Jersey. Business more than doubled as a result!

    Fourth Year

    OMG! Pretzels expands to other McCaffrey’s Markets, including McCaffrey’s Newtown and Yardley in Pennsylvania and McCaffrey’s West Windsor in New Jersey. In order to meet rapidly increasing product needs, the kitchen production moved to a local synagogue who became a vital partner in our growth for the next 3 years.
