History of Mrs. Fishers Potato Chips

Mrs. Fisher’s Potato Chips was founded in Rockford, IL in 1932 by Mrs. Ethel Fisher. Since that time, the company has formed a time honored tradition to manufacture homestyle, thick-sliced potato chips.

It was actually Mr. Fisher that came up with the idea of producing potato chips for a living. The couple started out cooking the chips in their basement on a two burner wash stove in order to make extra income during the Depression.


Now, Mrs. Fisher’s is one of the oldest "chippers" in the Midwest. "We are dedicated to serving our community and providing a quality product to all of our customers," says Roma and Mark Hailman, the new owners of Mrs. Fisher’s.

 

The Mrs. Fisher’s dancing potato logo was originally designed by Mr. Eugene Fisher in 1932. Since that time this logo has become one of the most recognized icons in the region. See our merchandise section in the order area to review hats and t-shirts for purchase as well as chips.
