Our Story

In 2021, Lance and his children embarked on a quest to create the perfect snack—one that was just as fun to make as it was to eat. Through trial and error, they crafted a secret family recipe for smoked seasoned pretzels that quickly won the hearts of friends and family alike. The demand for these delicious pretzels grew rapidly, surpassing all expectations.

With careful thought, research, and planning, the brother-sister duo, Lance and Mari, officially launched Smokey Dukes in March 2024. Their dream of placing smoked pretzels on retail shelves nationwide is becoming a reality, thanks to the unwavering support of their family, friends, and loyal customers.

Our deepest gratitude goes out to everyone who has believed in and supported us through this incredible journey. We hope that the purchase of this bag leaves you craving more. From our backyard to yours, we hope you enjoy our family's creation, Smokey Dukes pretzels!
