Troy and Nancy Akers have opened a Wetzel's Pretzels food truck in August, Georgia, according to a press release.

It's the brand's first food truck in the state.

"The closest Wetzel's location is in Florida, so every time we're near, we make a special trip to Disney Springs just to get a pretzel," Troy Akers said in the press release. "We believe the Augusta area needs more snack options, and a food truck is the perfect way to deliver fresh pretzels to our friends and neighbors. We know our local community will love this perfect addition to summer events and gatherings."

"Our food trucks offer a unique opportunity to connect with fans on a broader scale and bring our delicious pretzels to more communities," Jon Fischer, head of development at Wetzel's, said in the press release. "With an affordable cost of entry and accessible financing options, opening a Wetzel's food truck is an appealing venture for aspiring entrepreneurs. It's dedicated owners like the Akers who enable our brand to keep growing, and we couldn't be more excited for the Augusta community to experience our tasty pretzels."

Wetzel's Pretzels has more than 400 locations.
