Ore-Ida® Potato Products, Inc. was formed in 1952 with its first and largest Ore-Ida® potato-processing facility located in Oregon, right near the border of Idaho. It was from these two states that co-founders F. Nephi Grigg and his brother Golden Grigg procured many of their potatoes. Thus, the brand name Ore-Ida® was born, combining the first few letters of Oregon and Idaho. This name inspired one of the world's most memorable advertising slogans: “When it says Ore-Ida®, it’s All Righta,” which was used for more than a decade.
Today, the Ore-Ida® brand is the most trusted and popular name in the frozen potato and onion business and the nation's leading brand of frozen potatoes.
