Auntie Anne’s, the pretzel chain located in malls across America, is giving away pretzels on Saturday to celebrate its 20th anniversary, according to a news release I spotted this morning. Locally, you can snag your free pretzel from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at The Streets at Southpoint, Triangle Town Center and Crabtree Valley Mall.

The pretzel makers also will be launching a new feel-good campaign:

“Free Pretzel Day” will also mark the beginning of Auntie Anne’s What a Difference a Family Makes: A New Twist on Giving Back, a grant program that will recognize 20 families who volunteer together to make a difference in their communities, and reward them with grants of up to $20,000. Interested families can nominate themselves or be nominated by others at www.aTwistOnGivingBack.com.
