by JJ Gielow and his three sons Roy , Les , and Marvin . The company grew , operating from multiple sites and becoming the second largest pickle manufacturer in the US . In 1967 , the business was sold to Comstock Foods , a division of Bordon ’ s . Three years later , Doug Gielow , Roy ’ s son , established another pickle business named Cool Crisp by Gielow ( Cool Crisp ). The cornerstones of this venture were high-quality , refrigerated style pickles and a new approach focused on the burgeoning food service market . Additionally , Doug recognized the potential of plastic packaging , which was quite innovative as most pickle products in 1970 were served in glass or metal jars . Today , Cool Crisp is a prominent player in the food service industry across the US and Canada . Cool Crisp ’ s line of refrigerated pickle products is also available in retail outlets throughout the US ,” he continues .
