BE WISE. BUY GUY’S.
THE HISTORY OF
GUY’S
With over 80 years of creating legendary chips and snack items under our belts, the Guy’s name is one you probably recognize.
Today, we continue on with the tradition of making great snacks that Guy (yes, that Guy) Caldwell started in 1938 with a makeshift peanut roaster in the back of a Kansas City storeroom. Back then, our company was called Guy’s Nut & Candy Company. And Guy Caldwell along with his wife Francis could be found roasting, selling and delivering their peanuts all over town.
But all that success hasn’t gone to our heads! You will find that we are the same friendly company that you have been inviting into your homes, along on your picnics and to your neighborhood get-togethers for over 80 years.
Since then, we’ve changed a few things (like our owner and location), introduced some legendary snack flavors (like our famous Barbeque Potato Chips), and pretty much made the whole region take notice with our “Be Wise, Buy Guy’s” and “Don’t Forget the Guy’s” campaigns.
And while Guy is no longer with us, the traditions and commitment to quality he established back in 1938 continues to this day. So when you crunch into any Guy’s Snack, you’ll know you’re enjoying the same crisp, fresh taste as when Guy was making them himself.
