Lowcountry Kettle debuts new collegiate branded chips with University of South Carolina and Clemson University

September 4, 2024

Lowcountry Kettle, celebrated as the Official Chip of South Carolina, is proud to announce the launch of two collegiate-branded bags honoring the University of South Carolina (USC) and Clemson University. The new SC Collegiate Edition chips feature limited-edition Carolina Gamecocks and Clemson Tigers rival designs as part of an exclusive partnership, distinguishing Lowcountry Kettle as the first officially licensed chip of both South Carolina universities.

“Lowcountry Kettle has always been deeply inspired by our local roots as South Carolina’s first potato chip company,” says Andrew Trumbull, co-founder of Lowcountry Kettle. “We can’t think of a more authentically Southern tradition than college football, and we’re thrilled to pay tribute to the rich legacies – and passionate fans – of both USC and Clemson through this exciting collaboration.”

Lowcountry Kettle’s newest SC Collegiate Edition chips feature two branded bag designs: Carolina Sea Salt and Clemson Sea Salt. Each is flavored with a spritz of all-natural premium sea salt and packaged in a 2-ounce single-serving bag for convenient game day snacking. Both are offered in 24-count cases of 2-ounce bags, as well as 24-count mixed case options, available for retail orders with free shipping at www.lowcountrykettle.com.

As the highlight of its USC and Clemson partnerships, Lowcountry Kettle will offer the new collegiate chip series at retail locations across both university campuses. Clemson fans can also purchase Tigers branded chips throughout Clemson Memorial Stadium and at additional college sporting events.

“This latest milestone is thanks to our supporters who embrace the homegrown spirit of Lowcountry Kettle,” says co-founder Clayton Wynne. “We are excited to expand our kettle chip flavor lineup with the newest collegiate bags, and for USC and Clemson fans to discover our authentic Lowcountry taste this tailgate season.”

Founded in 2016 in Charleston, SC, Lowcountry Kettle is the originator of South Carolina’s first small batched, handcrafted kettle potato chips that celebrate Lowcountry tastes. Seven distinctly Southern flavors like State Fair Fried Pickle, Spicy Pimento Cheese, Bloody Mary and Holy City Red Wine Vinegar & Sea Salt have propelled the brand’s rapid growth throughout South Carolina and even across state lines. Lowcountry Kettle can now be found in more than 500 stores across the Carolinas, Georgia, Virginia, Florida, Texas and New York.
