Stacy's is owned by PepsiCo (the United States, NASDAQ: PEP), which acquired the brand on 1 November 2005.[1][2] Stacy's was founded in 1997 in the United States and was independent until 2005.
Evidence: PepsiCo, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K filed 2026-02-03, SEC EDGAR, 3 February 2026. Verified from filings; last checked .
Stacy's makes baked pita chips, founded by a couple who began by turning leftover pita from their sandwich cart into a snack. Frito-Lay acquired the business in 2005 and it created the pita chip category in American supermarkets. Baking rather than frying gave it a health positioning that the rest of the snack aisle could not match.
A plain count of the times the name appears in the text of each annual report, not counting the start of a sentence. A brand that an owner writes about more is usually one it treats as central.
The USPTO record for the Stacy's mark lists Stacy's Pita Chip Company, Inc. as the owner of record (serial number 78803392). A trademark is often held by a group company rather than the listed parent, so the registrant's name can differ from the owner named above.[3]
