CAIN’S MARCELLE
POTATO CHIPS
Established Circa 1936
Cain's Marcelle Potato Chip Co., Inc. operated in Bowling Green from 1936 until 1977. Company founder Emerson Cain is credited with coining the term “marcelled” to describe their unique type of thick, wavy-cut potato chips, now a popular style out of northwest Ohio. Cain also patented the automatic salting machine in 1953, further improving the production of snack foods.
