COLUMBIA, S.C. – Lowcountry Kettle, a producer of handmade, Lowcountry-inspired kettle chips, today announced plans to expand operations in Charleston County. The project will create 24 new jobs.

Founded in 2016, Lowcountry Kettle uses Bulls Bay salts to create a variety of kettle cooked potato chip flavors, including Bloody Mary, Mustard BBQ Sauce, Spicy Pimento Cheese and State Fair Fried Pickle.

Located at 4447 Dorchester Road in North Charleston, Lowcountry Kettle’s expansion will enable growth into other regions of the state and the Southeast, along with the addition of two new flavors – Bulls Bay Sea Salt and Carolina Reaper – to the company’s product line.

The expansion is expected to be completed in the summer of 2020. Individuals interested in joining the Lowcountry Kettle team should visit https://www.lowcountrykettle.com/pages/contact.
