GOSHEN — Ben’s Soft Pretzels is always looking for ways to pay it forward. Whether it is throwing a VIP Party for Veterans, or raising money for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, the Amish-inspired pretzel bakery wants to give back to those who could use an extra smile. 

On Veteran’s Day, select Ben’s Soft Pretzels bakeries are giving away a Free Jumbo Soft Pretzel to all those who have served. Visit www.benspretzels.com/news for a complete listing of participating stores. Veterans are asked to show proof of the Military Service. 

Ben’s Soft Pretzels’ heart for Veterans goes beyond giving away free salted treats. In 2015, Ben’s Soft Pretzels and their more than 50 bakeries raised more than $28,000 for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund.

“Veterans have done so much for our country and we want to give back in any way we can. The men and women who have served our country fearlessly are the true heroes to whom we owe so much gratitude,” said Jillian Koeneman, Vice President of Marketing at Ben’s Soft Pretzels.

Three lucky Veterans and their families will also be treated to a Veterans Day Pretzel Party held at Ben’s Soft Pretzels headquarters in Goshen. Ben’s fans could nominate their favorite Veteran for a chance to attend the party via the Ben’s Soft Pretzels Facebook Page. The VIP guests will enjoy dinner, prizes and learn the fine art of pretzel rolling.
