Thomasson Potato Chip Brand Phasing Out by Jones Co.
The Jones Potato Chip Co. of Mansfield will eliminate Thomasson chips over the next six to eight months after buying Thomasson in 1996. Slow sales and production inefficiencies due to unique chip shapes drive the decision. Thomasson traces back to 1931 Elyria origins with a long family involvement, while Jones remains a family run operation founded by Frederick W. Jones in the 1940s. Jones carries on the regional tradition about 60 miles from Elyria and Lorain County.
