In Canada, you’ll likely spot Old Dutch chips in stores, Dollarama, and eateries. A quintessential Canadian snack, Old Dutch has thrived for 70 years since its inception in Winnipeg in 1954. Renowned for taste and quality, it remains a staple nationwide. With its iconic windmill adorning shelves, Old Dutch stands as a trusted brand synonymous with snack innovation and integrity.
Initially established in St. Paul, Minnesota, Old Dutch relocated to Minneapolis in 1937 before settling in Roseville, Minnesota, in 1968, where it stands today. In 1954, recognizing the potential of the Canadian market, Old Dutch expanded operations by inaugurating a manufacturing plant in Winnipeg, Manitoba, to produce chips for Canadian consumers.
Old Dutch is dedicating an entire year to mark its 70th anniversary in Canada. As a prominent Canadian snack producer, Old Dutch Foods is reaching this milestone with much fanfare, transforming a birthday and an entire birth-year celebration. Canadians can partake in the festivities with an exciting lineup of new flavors, engaging contests, and the revival of a beloved relic: The Chip Tin.
This tin is how Old Dutch chips first went to market and it has been coveted as a collectible
ever since. Vintage ones run for $50+ on eBay. Save your cash and get more snacks with your
chance to get it through social giveaways and sweepstakes in 2024. Keep updated with the
newest ways to secure your own Limited Edition Chip Tin by following Old Dutch on social
