Walkers Lightly Salted Crisps

ownerPepsiCo, Inc. (USA)
originUnited Kingdom
manufacturedUnited Kingdom

Walkers is a quintessential British snack brand, primarily known for its wide variety of potato crisps. Founded in Leicester in 1948 by Henry Walker, the brand has grown to become the United Kingdom's most popular crisp manufacturer. The product shown identifies as being made with 100% British potatoes, highlighting its local sourcing and manufacturing roots within the UK.

While Walkers maintains a distinct British identity and logo, it has been a part of the global PepsiCo family since 1989. This acquisition integrated Walkers into the same portfolio as the international brand Lay's, which shares nearly identical branding in other markets. Despite this American ownership, Walkers continues to operate major production facilities in the UK, including the world's largest crisp factory in Beaumont Leys, Leicester.
