Local Style

Laura Gardner, Local Style

Local Style is a love letter to Chicago — celebrating legendary local flavors is celebrating Chicago itself. For Chicagoans, food isn’t just food — it’s culture, memories, personality, and pride.

It all started with a simple question: What if a line of chips could capture the soul of a city? Today, Local Style is bringing the idea to life — one bag at a time — found on shelves at your favorite neighborhood delis, markets, and corner stores.

They're a woman-owned, family-run small business based in the Windy City. Founder Laura Gardner spent her career building food and beverage brands for big companies, but when she was unexpectedly laid off, she decided it was time to bet on herself... and Chicago.

So to the locals, former locals, and Chicago fans everywhere, this is their promise to you: 100% hustle and heart. No Small Plans. And a whole lot of love for the greatest food city in the world.
