Our story
Pretzels with a Purpose Bolder than its Flavor
Our goal for ZELS Pretzels is to create “ZEL-icious” snacks while providing opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental differences to reach their highest vocational potential.
ZELS teaches staffers employable skills, teamwork and social skills.
ZELS is one of four social enterprises owned and operated by The Point Arc. So when you crunch into your new favorite gourmet pretzels, know that you're supporting a mission bolder than its flavors.

Frequently asked questions
