Flower City Flavor Company

04/04/2026

As many of you know, my journey in the specialty food world started right here with Flower City Flavor Company.

Over the last 8+ years, this community has supported my passion for discovering new flavors and supporting local businesses.

Today, I am beyond proud to share a massive personal milestone: I have officially become the brand-new owner of New York Chips!

I want to be very clear with all of my loyal FCFC fans: Flower City Flavor Company is not closing. While I’ll be leading both brands, they will remain separate entities.

FCFC is still your home for the biggest meat hot sauce selection anywhere in the world, a vast selection of hot sauces, and 35+ (and still growing) local Rochester brands.

All online orders are going out exactly as scheduled, and both the Irondequoit Pharmacy and Twelve Corners Apothecary locations are fully stocked and ready for you.

For the past 4 years, I’ve worked side by side with the New York Chips team for their Salt & Vinegar flavor. Taking the helm of that brand feels like the natural next step, and I’m honored to carry its legacy forward alongside the work I do here.

Thank you for being part of this 8-year grind with me. I’m still the same guy; I just have a much, much larger warehouse to ship potato chip orders from now!

Stay tuned for some incredible things ahead for both brands.

I’m really late in posting this, seeing we are already at the end of January (time flies!), but I still had to say thank you. 🎉 Our New York Chips × Flower City Flavor Company Salt & Vinegar flavor was once again the #1 best‑selling flavor in their collaboration lineup across Walmart and independent stores for all of 2025! 🛒🥔 That makes two years in a row on top! Huge thanks to everyone who keeps grabbing bags, tagging us, and spreading the word. 🙌🔥

We’re so thankful that our Salt & Vinegar New York Chips are in so many locations already - large chains, small mom-and-pops, and everything in between! New York Chips is always looking to expand, so if you have suggestions - we’ll pass them along! I personally would love to see more 1-oz bags available at local delis/breweries/anywhere single-serving sizes are sold.

New York Chips is looking for local businesses to get NY Chips into. By local we mean from western NY to as far East as Syracuse and anything in between. Can you help? Please put your suggestions in the comments. We appreciate you all!

Many thanks to Scovillionaires for taking the time to review our exclusive Karma Sauce Extreme Smokey Karma. Check out their review and the rest of their videos on their YouTube channel, and give them a follow on Facebook and Instagram!

Review #247 from Karma Sauce and sold exclusively by Flower City Flavor Company (huge shoutout to them sending us a bottle) is the Extreme Smokey Karma and it hits such a good balance between spicy, Smokey, flavor. Highly recommend you buy from Flower City.
