Two iconic West Virginia brands - Mister Bee Potato Chips and Tudor’s Biscuit World – have joined forces to offer a new Biscuit and Gravy flavored potato chip.

TNA Solutions, a global supplier of integrated food processing and packaging solutions, has partnered with Mister Bee Potato Chips, an iconic American brand founded in 1951, to revolutionise its snack production and enable it to realise its ambitious goals going forward.

Starting in early July, Mister Bee’s potato chips will be entering a new territory for the first time in company history. Mister Bee’s will be featured in stores throughout Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., through Labor Day in September honoring military personnel.
