Walkers was founded in 1948 in Leicester, England by Harry Walker, and acquired by Lay's owner, Frito-Lay, a division of PepsiCo, in 1989.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Walkers Snack Foods Ltd. History )〕 It is best known for manufacturing crisps, and other, non-potato based snack foods. They hold 56 per cent of the British crisp market. The Walkers site in Leicester is the largest crisp production plant in the world, producing over 11 million bags of crisps per day and using about 800 tons of potatoes
==History==
In the 1880s, Walker moved from Mansfield to Leicester to take over an established butcher's shop in the high street. Meat rationing after World War II saw the factory output drop dramatically and the company looked at alternatives to make use of the wasted capacity. With potato crisps being increasingly popular with the public, managing director R.E. Gerrard helped the company shift focus and began hand-slicing and frying potatoes.
