When it comes to chips, savouries, and sweets, for the last 50 years the name a-1 Chips has stood the test of time as a hallmark of great taste and excellent quality in South India. a-1 Chips can trace its origins to 1970, when Mr. Subramaniam began selling chips and savouries in a small scale at the heart of Coimbatore. In 1984, his sons, Rajan, Damodaran, and Murali took a leap of faith, by opening the first a-1 Chips store at Cross Cut road. Since then, there has been no looking back.
