Then Tim himself went out to local convenience stores and gave them samples to try. With primarily used equipment, they began by hand-stirring, with special rakes, small batches of thick-sliced sliced potatoes in square-shaped kettles-spiced by hand, and packaged in Tim’s signature red and white striped bag. Tim’s Cascade Style Potato Chips began in 1986 with Tim Kennedy and his family in a makeshift 15,000-square-foot facility in Auburn, Washington.
