Walkers Oven Baked Salt & Vinegar crisps

Walkers Crisps is a legendary British brand founded by Henry Walker in 1948 in Leicester, England. Originally a butcher, Walker began frying potato slices when meat rationing after World War II made it difficult to maintain business. The brand quickly became a household name across the UK, known for its distinctive logo and wide range of unique British flavours.

Today, Walkers remains a primarily British-made product, with its main manufacturing facility in Beaumont Leys, Leicester, which is often cited as the largest crisp factory in the world. The brand is now a subsidiary of the American multinational PepsiCo, which acquired Walkers in 1989. This acquisition integrated Walkers into the global Frito-Lay network, though the brand retains its original 'Walkers' name in the UK and Ireland while using the same logo as its global counterpart, Lay's.
