After successfully serving the area with his mobile unit, a longtime Auntie Anne’s food truck franchisee is set to open a brick-and-mortar location in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
Chris Coleman recently announced plans to open a drive-thru location of the beloved pretzel shop at 2411 Race St, Suite G, in the same retail center as Lucky Nails & Spa, Ding Tea, and Magnolia Soap.
While Coleman has been driving the food truck across Northeast Arkansas since 2020, this will be the first permanent Auntie Anne’s in the area since the 2020 tornado devastated The Mall at Turtle Creek.
But that’s not all. Alongside Auntie Anne’s, West will introduce another franchise favorite: Jamba Juice. The two popular brands will share a space under one roof, offering a unique combination of savory and refreshing options.
While Auntie Anne’s is celebrated for its fresh, buttery soft pretzels, pretzel nuggets, and pretzel dogs, Jamba Juice will bring its signature juices, smoothies, açaí bowls, and light breakfast bites to the mix.
Though the truck won’t be stationed in Jonesboro full-time after the new location opens, Coleman plans to keep it active for catering events and pop-ups outside the city, according to an earlier Jonesboro Right Now report.
The Auntie Anne’s x Jamba Juice drive-thru is projected to open toward the end of Q1 2025. Coleman did not respond to multiple requests for comment from What Now Memphis.
