Hostess Hickory Sticks Chips bulk case for food service
Hostess Hickory Sticks Chips come in a 48-unit case at 65g per bag. They're built for Canadian food service: delis, schools, hospitals, catering, vending, staff rooms. We ship from Calgary to all 10 provinces and 3 territories in 2 to 5 business days.
Hostess Hickory Sticks have been on shelves for decades and they're still a default snack in Canadian food service for a reason. The 65g bag is the right size, the flavour profile is familiar to anyone who's bought them, and the case format keeps inventory simple. When you're packing 300 boxed lunches or running a cafeteria line that needs to move in under a minute, you don't want to be weighing chips into bags. Open, drop, serve.
Hostess Hickory Sticks Chips | 65G per unit, 48 units per case
These are thin-cut potato chips with a hickory, onion, and paprika seasoning. They work in any high-volume operation that needs a reliable snack with no prep. Whether you're rounding out a deli sandwich combo at a Calgary lunch counter or stocking a staff breakroom in a Fort McMurray camp kitchen, the case keeps you supplied without much thought.
Stocked by ChickenPieces.com at our Calgary distribution hub. Delivered Canada-wide, all 10 provinces and 3 territories, in 2-5 business days.
"These move fast in grab-and-go sections, and Calgary delis buy them by the case for that reason. The 65g portion is the sweet spot for institutional lunch programs - kids finish them, staff don't feel shorted, and there's no half-eaten bag waste. For an event catering 100 to 200 guests, I'd tell most buyers to plan on two cases. You don't want to run out mid-line."
Pre-portioned snacks earn their place in food service because they remove decisions. A 65g bag of Hostess Hickory Sticks costs the same to count, the same to ring up, and the same to deliver whether it's going to a university cafeteria, a hospital gift shop, or a catering pickup. Drop them into a lunch program, pair them with takeout, or just keep the case in the staff room. They sit in our food service range because operators keep reordering them, full stop.
Specs and flavour
Thin-cut, crunchy potato chips with a hickory seasoning that reads smoky, salty, and a little sweet. Each bag is 65g, sealed, and the same weight every time, so you can price them, portion them, and stock them without surprises. 48 bags per case.
Where they work
Deli sandwich combos (try them next to a smoked meat or turkey club). School and hospital lunch programs. Catering boxed lunches and event snack tables. Staff breakrooms, convenience store grab-and-go coolers, and vending machines. Anywhere a salty, pre-portioned snack fits the workflow.
Storage and handling
Keep cases in a cool, dry spot, off the floor and out of direct sun. Sealed bags hold until the date on the case. Once a bag's open, eat it - chips absorb kitchen humidity fast and the crunch is gone within hours. Don't reseal and expect them back.
Canadian supply
Origin is on the case label, as always. We stock this at our Calgary warehouse and ship to every province and territory. Lead time is 2 to 5 business days depending on where you're located. If you've got a standing order or a multi-case buy, email us and we'll lock in stock.
