About
Weaver's Snacks, Lincoln
The Weaver's Potato Chip Company, Inc. had its beginnings in 1932 on a stove in the kitchen of Ed and Phyllis Weaver, Sr. in Lincoln, Nebraska. Mr. Weaver had learned of the potato chip business from an advertisement for cooking equipment. Since he didn't have the funds to purchase the equipment, he improvised with kettles on the stove. Two months later, production of the hand-scrubbed "Weaver Brownie Vitamin Chips" moved to the basement where their children Ed, Jr. and Mary Lou joined them in the weighing and packaging line. In 1944, the company moved to a new plant at 129 South 21st where production of the renamed "Weaver Potato Wafers" grew with the addition of a new continuous line chip cooker.
