I'm not sure what the exact timeline was, but they are selling pretzels and churros now. Part of me would be surprised if this was due to a single state's laws, but it also wouldn't be too surprising if it was for a legal foothold. Seems like an easy gamble. They are provided by other companies (Auntie Anne's for the pretzels, Cinnabon for the churros), which seems like both a reason they wouldn't be exempt (they don't "produce" it), and a reason for doing it (it's easier and quicker to have an established company/companies provide it to get it done before having to train people and update POS's). Confusingly, I could have always bought a loaf of sandwich bread from Subway - I can just ask for a sandwich with nothing on it, and the employees don't care. I don't believe they actually mix ingredients to make a dough that they then bake, though.
