Gus's Pretzels
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gus' Pretzels is a pretzel bakery and snack counter in St. Louis, Missouri, United States. It opened in 1920, located at 1820 Arsenal Street near the Anheuser-Busch beer plant. Gus' is a third generation family business. They hand-make pretzels in an open kitchen near where they are sold with dips and condiments such as mustard and cheese sauces. Fresh pretzels are emblematic of the German culture and community that have been prominent in St Louis. So much so that a St. Louis variety of pretzel, a long breadstick-shaped type, has been commonly sold by the brown bag full on busy street corners. Gus's Pretzels has been a baker for these street vendors, though only a few remain [1].
