Idaho Fry Co. co-owner Blake Lingle said Tuesday that he and his business partner met with officials at the Idaho Potato Commission and came to an agreement on a new name for the business. Plans for a naming contest were scrapped in favor of resolving the name issue quickly.
The business will be renamed the Boise Fry Company, and that will be reflected in signs and marketing materials by Aug. 31. The Idaho Potato Commission agreed to reimburse the business for costs associated with the name change, according to a press release from the commission.
