Preztel founder gets tied up in motorcycle accident
The founder of a national fast food chain became one of the more famous Pennsylvania residents involved in a motorcycle accident.
The founder the national pretzel franchise, Auntie Annie’s, Anne Beiler suffered a concussion, broken collarbone, broken rib, and abrasions to her face after a motorcycle accident on Saturday.
“If I didn't have my helmet on, I wouldn't be here," Beiler told Lancaster online yesterday.
The accident came after a local ride with friends to have dinner and after another short trip, desert. But approximately a mile from her home Beiler hit an oil slick, was unable to retain control and crashed her motorcycle in Salisbury Township.
The accident comes after thirty-one years of riding a motorcycle and not long after completing a 3,000 mile road trip that had the pretzel franchise founder and her husband ride to Florida, Tennessee and Virginia, all with no mishaps.
Lancaster-based Auntie Anne's is the largest franchiser of hand-rolled soft pretzels, with more than 1,000 locations worldwide.
The accident won’t keep her off a motorcycle though with Beiler planning to get back in the saddle as soon as her injuries heal.
"My husband and I just thoroughly enjoy it," she said in an interview with Lancaster online, "It was just an accident, a fluke thing."
