Collier Creek Holdings is in talks to acquire Pennsylvania-based snack company Utz Quality Foods

Uh-oh. I hope this isn't a bad sign. Utz potato chips are great.

Reports say that "blank-check” firm Collier Creek Holdings is in talks to acquire Pennsylvania-based snack company Utz Quality Foods, which owns iconic Alabama chip maker Golden Flake. https://trib.al/OdsB3As

Do they still sell those big tin drums of Utz? If I can find them, I'm going to stock up. Or even drive over to Hanover.

Are they National now? One of the finest things to come from the Lancaster area Snack Belt. My personal favorite chips is Martin’s and I think those are truly local to PA.

I didn't know they bought out Snyder of Berlin.

Two good PA brands are going to disappear in one fell swoop.
