Wise now offers New York Deli chips along the Eastern Seaboard and as far west as Dallas, packed in a passionate purple bag that bears no hint of Borden or Wise. With New York Deli, Wise is mining the regional pride and expectations New Yorkers have about deli products being made to order, according to Vice President Chris Abernathy.
