Auntie Anne's has created at least seven new jobs following the launch of its franchise at The Friary, in Guildford.

Robert Burton, Managing Director of Auntie Anne's UK & Ireland, said: "We are proud to be in the very prestigious Friary, which features many other high quality brands, and to be creating local jobs. We've had a superb response to the store and it's clear that like thousands in the UK and across the world, the people of Guildford are enjoying our fresh and tasty pretzels. We hope that our customers continue to visit us when they want a great quality freshly made snack."

Auntie Anne's launched seven franchises in the UK and Ireland during the second half of 2011 and is planning many more openings in 2012.
