Great Lakes Potato Chips

BBQ

We took the glory of a Michigan summer and put it in a bag. These full-flavored Barbeque potato chips start the same as our Original flavor with hearty, skin-on potato slices. Our seasoning is tangy, somewhat smoky and not too sweet or biting. The result is a flavor that takes you to warm days on the lake, burgers on the grill and family and friends gathered around – no matter what the season.

Michigan Cherry BBQ

Michigan Cherry BBQ went from a seasonal treat to customer favorite and is now available year-round. We start with our original barbeque seasoning and mix in the cherry that makes our home town Traverse City famous. Savor the chips made to celebrate the Cherry Capital of the world!

Original Sea Salt

Named the #1 Potato Chip by the Chicago Tribune! Building a better chip takes dedication. At the Great Lakes Potato Chip Co., we begin with the highest quality Michigan potatoes, grown especially for potato chip making. We slice them thick and leave the skin-on for a bolder flavor. Our potato chips are cooked in 100% non-GMO sunflower and/or canola oil in small batches, making a great-tasting chip with no trans fats and no cholesterol. Finally, each chip is seasoned with pure sea salt and sent on its journey to you. Success? You be the judge.

Parmesan Ranch

Our light Parmesan mix highlights the exceptionally delicious cool ranch flavor of these hearty chips. Your mouth will be amazed by this taste sensation.

Pickled Jalapeno

This flavor is a real hit! We balance the heat of the jalapeno with the forward flavors of vinegar and herbs. Not too spicy – just hot enough to keep you coming back for more! Our Pickled Jalapeño Potato Chips are a perfect partner for sandwiches; no dairy, no gluten and no artificial flavor enhancers.

Sea Salt and Vinegar

We’re bringing the tang of sea salt to our vast inland seas! Yes, we live in the fresh water capital of the world, but sometimes you just need a little bit of pucker. Our skin-on BOLD Sea Salt & Vinegar potato chips are mixed with just the right amount of sea salt and a hearty blast of vinegar. They pair perfectly with days on the boat, a picnic in the park, or an afternoon of football.

Meet Jonathan Burgett
What is the story behind your business' name?

As avid outdoors guys who love to travel by car, camp out and enjoy the scenery, we have traveled on Old Route 66 many times and each time we see new things we never saw before, we saw things rebuilt and other decaying further. We love the transformation of Route 66 and all that it offers A truly terrific slice of Americana! This was our inspiration for naming our business. It does help a little that we live only 6 miles from old Route 66!
