The Wee Chippy was founded in 2013 by a Scottish native, Joe Gorrie, who was raised in Glasgow and moved to the States in 1985. He has lived in Venice since 2001. In 2009, he began working on the idea of bringing the European style chips to Venice Beach. He thought about the idea of giving them a twist by infusing flavors. He thought why only dip the chips in the sauce to get the flavor? Why not infuse the chips with the flavor of salts? The Wee Chippy was born!
