President's Choice (PC) is an iconic Canadian private-label brand established in 1984 by Loblaw Companies Limited. The brand was famously spearheaded by Dave Nichol, who served as the president of Loblaw Supermarkets and became the face of the brand, personally endorsing products in the company's popular 'Insider's Report' circulars. The name 'President's Choice' literally refers to his curated selection of premium products meant to compete with national brands items at a more competitive price.
These specific kettle-cooked potato chips are proudly manufactured in Canada, primarily using Canadian-grown potatoes. The production process involves batch-frying to achieve a dense, crunchy texture distinctive of kettle-style chips. While PC products are sometimes sourced globally depending on the category, their core snack lines like potato chips are central to their Canadian manufacturing base.
Ownership of the brand remains entirely within Canada. It is owned by Loblaw Companies Limited, which itself is a subsidiary of George Weston Limited, a massive Canadian public holding company controlled by the Weston family. Loblaw is the largest food retailer in Canada, making President's Choice one of the most recognized and trusted domestic brands in the country.
