CHARLES ELMER DOOLIN: THE CORN CHIP KING
Charles Doolin transformed American snacking in 1932 when he created Fritos corn chips and launched the Frito Company.
His crisp, salty chips sparked a shift in how Americans ate between meals, much like his peer Herman W.
Lay's potato chips reshaped casual eating habits.
CHARLES DOOLIN INVENTED FRITOS
Charles Doolin founded the Frito Company in 1932, during the Great Depression.
He borrowed $100 from his mother to buy three things:
- a corn chip recipe
- a handheld potato ricer
- the business contacts of a struggling corn chip maker
This small purchase launched what would become a snack food empire.
DOOLIN & HIS FAMILY INITIALLY MADE FRITOS IN THEIR HOME'S KITCHEN
The Frito Company began in the Doolin family kitchen, where they hand-crafted each batch of Fritos.
This kitchen operation eventually became a structured business, where he installed his father Charles Bernard as chairman of the board.
