Tom's Snacks

Tom’s Snacks was founded in Columbus, Georgia in 1925, when a young mechanical inventor named Tom Huston received peanuts from farmers in payment for some of his mechanical inventions. Huston designed a mechanical peanut sheller and a roasting process for shelled peanuts. He then put the roasted peanuts into a narrow cellophane package.
A year later Tom’s cellophane package was patented and was marked with a triangular label that read “Tom’s Toasted Peanuts.” The triangular Tom’s logo remains with us today.
In 1930, Time magazine featured Tom Huston as “The Farmer Boy Who Became Peanut King.”
Despite the company's growth, another of Tom’s ventures experienced difficulties which led to the young entrepreneur to lose his peanut company. The bank made Walter Richards president of the company, where he remained until 1966 when General Mills acquired the company.
In 1983, British company Rowntree-Mackinstosh, took the company over until it sold it on to local investors five years later. A further eight years later, Heico Acquisitions took Tom’s over and operated it until 2005, when current owners Lance, Inc., acquired the company.
​Lance's experience in the snack world stretches back to 1913, so a century of expertise in the manufacturing and distribution
