Walkers Cheese & Onion Crisps

Walkers is the United Kingdom's most prominent snack food manufacturer, best known for its range of potato crisps. Founded in Leicester in 1948 by butcher Henry Walker, the brand transitioned from meat production to potato crisps during post-war rationing. Since then, it has become a staple of British culture, with its iconic red and yellow sun logo and unique flavor profiles like Cheese & Onion, which remains the brand's most popular variety.

While the brand maintains a strong British identity, often highlighting its use of 100% British potatoes, it is actually a major part of a global corporate network. In 1989, Walkers was acquired by PepsiCo, the American multinational food and beverage corporation. Today, Walkers operates the largest crisp factory in the world in Beaumont Leys, Leicester, and continues to dominate the UK snack market as a cornerstone of PepsiCo's international savory snack portfolio.
