Walkers crisps are a staple of British snack culture, famously known for their wide variety of flavors and distinctive red sun logo. This specific product is a collaboration with Lea & Perrins, the legendary creator of Worcestershire sauce. The brand was originally founded in Leicester, England, in 1948 by Henry Walker, a butcher who turned to potato frying during post-war meat rationing.
Today, Walkers is a cornerstone of the UK snack market and is manufactured primarily in Leicester, which is home to one of the largest crisp production plants in the world. While the flavor profile leverages the iconic Lea & Perrins sauce, the snack itself is part of the extensive Walkers portfolio.
The global journey of the brand saw Walkers being acquired by the American multinational PepsiCo in 1989. For over three decades, it has operated as the UK equivalent of the Lay's brand. As of 2026, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of PepsiCo, headquartered in New York, USA, which manages the brand through its local subsidiary, Walkers Snack Foods Ltd.
