what brought us here
dropping out of college
I went all in—left college, took every dollar I had, and put it into building Hot Box Pretzels from the ground up. No backup plan, just pure determination.
The Food Truck Takes Off
From farmers' markets to weddings, private events, and music festivals, our food truck blew up in Jacksonville. We built a loyal following one fresh, hot pretzel at a time.
Food Stars Experience
Competing on Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars was the opportunity of a lifetime. Hot Box Pretzels went head-to-head with other entrepreneurs, making it all the way to the finals.
Expanding to South Florida
The demand kept growing, so we made our next big move—launching a second food truck in South Florida and reaching even more pretzel lovers.
Moving into Our Own Facility
Getting our own kitchen has been a game-changer. Better production, better quality, and full control over the process—Hot Box Pretzels is only getting started!
