Since 1995, Kim and Scott Holstein, co-founders of Kim & Scott’s Gourmet Pretzels, have grown their business from the kitchen in Kim’s studio apartment to a national presence selling millions of pretzels each week via grocery store chains like Albertsons, Wild Oats and Whole Foods.  In addition, their pretzels can be found at Borders Books & Music, Barnes & Noble, and via regular appearances on QVC, where they sold more than 150,000 pretzels in just 12 minutes when they debuted on the network. They have also been named “entrepreneurs to watch” by Entrepreneur Magazine, profiled by the Food Network’s Road Tasted with the Deen Brothers, and Roker on the Road with Al Roker, CNBC’s The Big Idea with Donny Deustch, USA Today and selected as one of 100 top urban entrepreneurs by Inc Magazine. Kim & Scott’s bakery is located in Chicago and the first-ever Pretzel Bakery & Twisting Café is located at Kohl Children’s Museum of greater Chicago. In 2008, in partnership with the Women’s Business Development Center, the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council certified Kim & Scott’s Gourmet Pretzels as a Women’s Business Enterprise.
