Quitting your full-time job and setting out to perfect the potato chip may sound like a bad business plan, but it worked out quite nicely for the Utz family. In 1921, Bill Utz did just that, and today, Pennsylvania-based Utz Quality Foods (now run by third-generation family members) is a regional leader in the snack food market. In addition to potato chips, the company makes pretzels; sunflower, tortilla and corn chips; cheese curls; onion rings; popcorn; and pork rinds and distributes them along the US mid-Atlantic coast. Utz also distributes snack items through national chains including BJ's Wholesale, Costco, and Wal-Mart.
