Laurel, NJ, JJSF uses over 175 facilities for manufacturing, warehousing, and distributing located in 44 states, Mexico, and Canada.

On September 27, 1971, Shreiber attended the Camden, New Jersey District Court's bankruptcy auction and purchased J&J Soft Pretzel with a bid of $72,100.

Superpretzel entered the grocery store arena for the first time expanding JJSF's business outside the foodservice segment.

[7] As sales exceeded, the $25 million mark the company went public, offering 600,000 shares, and traded on NASDAQ as "JJSF".

[9] In the same year, Shreiber was introduced to the frozen beverage industry through a chance meeting with the then-owner of Icee, Omar Knedlik.

Additionally, JJSF renovated their Pennsauken, NJ soft pretzel facility into a 104,000-square foot distribution centre in 1993.

In 1994 the company acquired The Funnel Cake Factory making JJSF a dominant force in the fried desserts category.

[7][12] In an effort to extend its frozen novelty category JJSF acquired Mazzone Enterprises, Inc. in 1996 and Mama Tish's International Foods in 1997.

[13] The acquisitions of Mrs. Goodcookie in 1998 and Camden Creek Bakery in 1999 extended the company's presence in the baked goods category.

The partnership provides JJSF with exclusive rights to manufacture, sell, and distribute frozen juice products under the Minute Maid name.

[17][18][19] Additionally, in 2007 JJSF acquired Hom/Ade Foods Inc. and Radar, Inc., introducing Mary B's Biscuits and Daddy Ray's Fig and Fruit Bars respectively to its family of baked goods brands.

[29] This introduced the unique line of SwirlStix, Candy Spoonz, Popperz, and Fruit Dips to the JJSF frozen novelty segment.

[30] In May 2022, J&J Snack Foods entered into an agreement to acquire Dippin' Dots, LLC for $222 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments.

The soft pretzels, ranging in size from one to ten ounces in weight, are shaped and formed by patented twister machines.

The majority of these products are manufactured from water, sweeteners and fruit juice concentrates in various flavors and packaging including cups, tubes, sticks, M-paks and pints.

JJSF's bakery products can be found under the Mrs. Goodcookie, Readi-Bake, Country home, Mary B's, Daddy Ray's, and as of August 2017, Labriola, brand names, and under private labels.

Bakery products include primarily biscuits, fig and fruit bars, cookies, breads, rolls, crumb, muffins, and donuts.

Similar to that of the soft pretzel and churro equipment programs, JJSF installs frozen beverage dispensers for its Icee brand at customer locations and thereafter services the machines.

JJSF supplies customers with ingredients required for production of the frozen beverages, and supports retail sales efforts with in-store promotions and point-of-sale materials.
