YORK, Pa. -- Rutter's Farm Stores Inc. continues to augment its food offerings with some local favorites. The latest addition's are warm butter pretzels and funnel cakes. The funnel cakes are available in seven new Rutter's stores that feature the company's expanded food menu, with plans to expand the new food offering to another 22 stores in 2009.
"We're constantly looking for new ways to fill customers' appetites for afternoon snacks," said Jerry Weiner, Rutter's vice president of foodservice. "Pretzels and funnel cakes are synonymous with central Pennsylvania, and they provide an alternative [image-nocss] to French fries. What's more, these are two items that are unique to Rutter's among convenience stores in our area."
Each item sells for $1.59. Available in all Rutter's stores, the pretzels are warmed, buttered and sprinkled with cinnamon, and placed in a clear wrap. Customers can pick them up, ready to eat, from a heated "grab-and-go" cabinet.
For the funnel cakes, the dough is fried for 45 seconds, topped with powdered sugar and served on a "to go" plate.
