## Story

In late-spring, Philly Pretzel Factory will be opening in South Bend, the first of three that will be coming to the area. Mark and Marsye Naman signed on to open the location, which will be the first brick-and-mortar location in the state.

The husband and wife duo are shooting for a March 2017 opening. In his initial search for a location, Mark is eyeing spots close to University of Notre Dame's campus.

"I always liked the Philly Pretzel product," Mark told the South Bend Tribune reporter. "We figured it woulld be an interesting product to bring here."

Once the first location is up and running, he will be working on bringing the second and third to the area.
