Harout Abgaryan is continuing to build his Wetzel’s Pretzels portfolio, opening his fifth location at Gilroy Premium Outlets alongside his father, longtime operator Varuzh Abgaryan.

The new outlet marks Harout Abgaryan’s first mall-based bakery and builds on a growing footprint that includes locations at Stanford University and inside the school’s football stadium.

“Opening my fifth location and first mall bakery at Gilroy Premium Outlets is a pivotal moment for my career, especially having my father alongside as he continues his own expansion with the brand,” said Harout Abgaryan. “I’m looking forward to experiencing the liveliness of the outlet mall and offering residents, visitors, and staff our freshly baked pretzels. I’m proud to represent the next generation of franchise owners who are passionate about both the product and the guest experience.”
