Jays Foods
Jays Foods, Inc. is a manufacturer of snack products including potato chips, popcorn and pretzels. Jays Foods was founded in 1927 in Chicago, Illinois and is currently a subsidiary of Snyder's of Hanover.〔(Potato Pro: Snyder's of Hanover officially acquires Jays Foods ) (Retrieved June 19, 2008)〕 Operating in several Midwestern states, Jays Foods' potato chips and popcorn maintain significant shares of their respective markets. Jays Foods filed for bankruptcy in October, 2007,〔Rovito〕 and permanently closed its Chicago manufacturing plant on December 5, 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Jays Chip Plant Closing Wednesday )〕 ==History== Leonard Japp, Sr. began selling pretzels from a truck in 1927. The business grew to feature a potato chip recipe made by Japp’s wife, Eugenia.〔 After the Wall Street Crash of 1929, Japp found a new business partner and began selling the chips under the brand name “Mrs. Japp’s Potato Chips”. The 1941 Attack on Pearl Harbor and the subsequent anti-Japanese sentiment, however, led to a negative connotation towards the word “Jap” in the United States.〔 The chips were consequently rebranded to “Jays Potato Chips” to avoid the sound-alike name, and the company became Jays Foods, Inc. Jays Foods remained a family-owned company until 1986, when the company was sold to Borden, Inc.〔(Jays Foods: Employment ) (Retrieved November 28, 2007)〕 In 1994, Jays Foods was re-acquired by the Japp Family. In 2004, Jays Foods was purchased by Willis Stein & Partners, a Chicago private-equity firm, and, together with another snack company acquired by Willis Stein & Partners, Lincoln Snacks Company, assigned a parent company, Ubiquity Brands. Jays Foods filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy on October 11, 2007, the second time in four years,〔〔Yue〕 and permanently closed its Chicago manufacturing plant on December 5, 2007.〔 On December 5, 2007 the remaining assets of Jay's were acquired by Snyder's of Hanover who have said they will continue to manufacture and distribute Jays products throughout the Midwest.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Snyders of Hanover Working to Keep Jays Products in Chicago )〕 Snyder's will continue to operate Jays Chicago warehouse and distribution center and its Jeffersonville, Indiana manufacturing facility.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Jays to close South Side plant throwing 220 out of work )〕
