About Us
How It Started
Glacier Sales Inc. was founded by Frank Bacon in 1964 during the early days of the frozen potato industry. Partnering with Pronto Pacific Foods in Washington, Mr. Bacon grew the company through hard work and a dedicated team, launching several brands and products along the way.
Growth
In 1974, Emmett Byrnes joined the company to help manage its rapid expansion. With deep industry experience, he became a managing partner, working alongside Mr. Bacon to develop brands, build relationships, and expand Glacier’s reach both domestically and internationally.
Change
In the early 1980s, Frank’s son Bruce took over leadership, focusing on growing market share for established brands like Potato King™, Potato Prince™, Glacier Gold™, Quincy Gold™, and Wonder Fry™. The company also expanded into complementary products such as frozen fruits, vegetables, and appetizers.
Where We Are Now
Today, Glacier Sales continues to grow strategically, offering added value in logistics, transportation, and funding. Committed to flexibility and customer focus, the company still benefits from the guidance of its original founders.
