Company Overview

Who We Are
Since 1927, Jays Foods has been bringing quality snacks to people in the Midwest. First marketed under the name of Mrs. Japp's Potato Chips, the name was changed to Jays Potato Chips in the early 1940's.

The company has operated for over 70 years with a consistent focus on quality and service both in their products and in the workplace. In 1986, the company was sold to Borden, Inc. In 1994, the current management team repurchased the company. Jays belief in quality and service quickly returned to the production and sales organization, new products were added and Jays Foods has again become the strongest regional snack company in our marketing area. The New Jays continues to enjoy annual sales growth throughout its diversified sales organization.

Our Vision for the Future
