From our family to yours, since 1929

Our beloved grandfather, Poppy Sol, started this business in an open-air market. Three generations later, we’re still bringing smiles to our customers' faces.

“Ordered pretzel mix, yeast and pretzel salt. Fast delivery. I was so happy to know that I could purchase the yeast in a larger quantity than what is offered in the supermarket. Have saved Nuts.com in my favorites. I especially love the "busy" box that the shipment came in, very creative and active. Great job.”
