Walkers is an iconic British snack brand founded in 1948 by Henry Walker in Leicester, England. Originally a butcher, Walker shifted to potato crisp production during post-war rationing. The brand is famous for its distinctive red logo and wide range of flavors, with Cheese & Onion being one of its most legendary varieties in the UK market.
Today, Walkers is a cornerstone of the UK snack industry, with its primary manufacturing site located in Beaumont Leys, Leicester, which is recognized as one of the largest crisp factories in the world. While the brand is quintessentially British in heritage and consumer base, it has been a subsidiary of the American multinational PepsiCo since 1989. To this day, Walkers maintains a strong local supply chain, sourcing the majority of its potatoes from British farms to ensure freshness and support the local agricultural economy.
