The Herr's factory began when 21 year old James Staffer Herr's bought a small potato chip factory in Lancaster PA for $1,750. In 1947 the business moved to a tobacco shed on the Herr family farm. From 1967-1984 new chips were formed. In September of 1951 the Herr's family experienced a major disaster. Late that afternoon on September 5th, Jim was headed home from his deliveries and Mim (his wife) was cooking the evening meal when a fire broke out in the plant. The factory was devastated by the fire. In 1952 the family, friends and the bank helped build a 37 acre and 4,500 square foot factory. In 1968 the company operated 35 companies out of Nottingham and 5 from New Jersey. Today the Herr's factory is located in Nottingham PA.
