The company has a rich history that began in 1927 with Leonard Japp, Sr., who initially started by delivering pretzels and later expanded into the potato chip market. After renaming the company to avoid negative connotations during World War II, Jays Foods solidified its position as a leading snack manufacturer in the Midwest. Over the years, the company diversified its product line to include not only potato chips but also tortilla chips, pretzels, and popcorn under various brands such as O-KE-DOKE and Krunchers!. After a period of family ownership, the Japp family reacquired Jays Foods in 1994, continuing its legacy of producing quality snacks. Today, Jays Foods remains committed to delivering a wide range of delicious, high-quality snacks to consumers.
