Tyler Dutton was a man on a mission. He cut his teeth working in a Wetzel’s Pretzels — actually several locations — all the while plotting, planning and saving to own his own franchise.
Dutton’s story starts in 2006. He had just turned 16 and wanted to start working. He rode his bike to the nearby mall in Southern California and went to apply to the local Wetzel’s Pretzels. He got lucky — the owners were there and interviewed Dutton on the spot.
