Spuds R Us (also known as Mums Chips Co) is a family owned and operated business, originally founded in 1972 by the Gammaldi family patriarch, a well respected potato merchant at the VIC Market in Melbourne. Initially the business traded from a small facility in Springvale, Melbourne and predominantly supplied the hospitality industry with Pre-Cooked chips. As the business grew his children Rino
, Maryann and Antonietta helped out and the family took a strategic decision to change their core business of supplying chips and invested in a purpose built manufacturing facility in Dandenong South. Today Spuds R Us is recognised as one of the largest processors of potatoes in the industry.
