History

The company was founded in 1986 by Tim Kennedy. Their production facilities are located in the U.S. state of Washington. Kennedy started out cooking chips in 100% peanut oil.[3] The back of a Tim's bag still references their use of an "old family recipe".After being acquired by Pinnacle Foods, the factory switched to substituting cheaper alternatives like corn oil and sunflower oil. Tim no longer states that they cook their product in small batches anymore either. In 2019, it was acquired by Utz Brand.

Products

Tim's potato chips, packaged in red-and-white-striped bags, are kettle-cooked in small batches. Tim's sales are most prominent in the Pacific Northwest, but they are also distributed throughout the United States and some parts of Asia.

Aficionados of the brand still lament the removal of the popular Cajun flavor, which was less overtly spicy than the Jalapeño and without the smoke present in the Alder Smoke Barbecue. The company still occasionally makes these flavors available as limited releases in regional markets. .
