A bakery that has a history of serving locals dating back to 1906 is bringing its treats to downtown Dayton.

Smales Pretzel Bakery is planning a second location inside the Dayton Arcade later this year, and it will have a mustard bar.

“We’re honored to bring our family’s tradition back to the heart of downtown,” said Emma Smales, the fifth-generation owner of the pretzel bakery. “The Arcade holds a special place in Dayton’s history, as well as ours, and we’re proud to be part of its revitalization.”
