HiringAgeAuntie Anne's hiring age policy
Auntie Anne's doesn't publish a minimum hiring age, and most stores are franchised, so each owner sets it within state law. On Auntie Anne's own careers site (20 store postings in PA, MD, WV, NC, TX and MI checked, Oct 2026), team member postings give no age — only that you must follow state and federal age rules for operating store equipment — while team leader postings require 18.
