Stacy's is owned by PepsiCo (the United States, NASDAQ: PEP), which acquired the brand on 1 November 2005.[1][2] Stacy's was founded in 1997 in the United States and was independent until 2005.
Stacy's makes baked pita chips, founded by a couple who began by turning leftover pita from their sandwich cart into a snack. Frito-Lay acquired the business in 2005 and it created the pita chip category in American supermarkets. Baking rather than frying gave it a health positioning that the rest of the snack aisle could not match.
