This link will open in a new window 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 . Utz agreed to be taken over by Snyder's of Hanover in 2009.

Competitive Landscape for Utz Quality Foods, Inc.
Demand is driven by consumer tastes and health considerations. The profitability of individual companies depends on efficient operations, effective marketing, and a strong sales force. Large companies have advantages in raw material purchasing, manufacturing efficiencies, distribution, and marketing budgets. Small operations can compete effectively by self-distributing products, selling online, or marketing snacks as gift items. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is $500,000. Snack food manufacturing competes against other "impulse" food items, including cookies and crackers, baked goods, fruits and vegetables, and fast food items.
