Absolutely amazing stop! The pecans are top-notch, and the cinnamon rolls are hands down the best I've ever had, they make every other cinnamon bun look bad. The fudge is incredibly creamy and fresh, and I couldn't resist grabbing a bag of the sweet & spicy pecans too. The staff is super friendly, and the location is perfect, especially for us truckers. It's a wonderful hidden gem with so many great options, all priced just right. Definitely worth the stop, and I'll be back in a jiffy. Thanks for making my visit worthwhile!

To start, everyone knows how expensive pecans are. Well, this place ain't cheap! But this place is also AWESOME! First time here, just browsed. Then I received some of the sweet and spicy mix as a gift. It was fantastic! My brothers and I stopped in to get something. The selection is astronomically huge! Any kind of pecan your heart desires, they've got it. Chocolate covered everything. Spicy, sweet, salty, cinnamon, and many more. Of course the habanero pecans caught my eye. She said, want a sample? Hell yes! OMG, so good, and VERY spicy! Yep, I walked out with $60 worth of pecans. And I'm going back this weekend! Join me! read more

The ladies are always so helpful and friendly!!! The Blue Bell ice creme cones are awesome for the drive home!! Super little store!!! read more

Honestly, this was one of my favorite things about our entire anniversary road trip! At the time I was extremely car sick and hating life and people and 2020, so the fact that this place turned my mood around, when we were just stopping to use a restroom, is a miracle in itself! We stopped in on a Wednesday, 8/26/20, early afternoon. There were a few other customers wrapping up purchases and Stephanie appeared to be the only employee. I wasn't looking for help, I was wandering around in awe at how many things they fit into one building- think mini Buc-ee's without gas pumps or a car wash (I don't know, I guess you could count the Shell next door... sorta). However, Stephanie was attentive, made suggestions, offered samples and was so upbeat and helpful! She's an absolute ray of sunshine! If I had more Stephanie's in my life, I would have zero complaints! Really, she made the trip outstanding! This is a wonderful stop for snacks, gifts, souvenirs! There's an amazing selection of pecans (I just didn't know how many ways they could mix these including spicy and savory options), pies, fudge, honey, jams, coffee (yes, yummy pecan coffee too), ice cream, olive oil, mixed nuts and home décor. They have the funniest kitchen towels! I had a sample of the cookies n cream fudge and it was delicious! It had a creamy texture and literally melted in my mouth. I think it's genius that they have single serving sizes of different flavored fudge prepackaged with a spoon! They also have a lunch selection in a cooler to the left, which had been hit pretty hard that day but still had enough options that I noticed several burgers and sandwiches. I also saw sausage and cheese at the front and there were multiple samplers. I honestly regret that my description and list of offerings cannot do this place justice. I wish I was a better writer so I could convey to you the full experience and how varied the selection truly is. You'll just have to check it out for yourself, I certainly recommend you do! We were very happy with our purchase of honey, coffee and honey roasted pecans (boring I know, but my favorite) and will definitely return when our next road trip brings us in this direction. It's worth the stop and the experience. read more

A great place for goodies and friendly staff. I like to buy stocking stuffers here for Christmas as well.

My daughter was traveling through, and saw it packed with vehicles, which she assumed was great, stopped and picked us up a pecan pie. Turns out, the pecan pie is OUTSTANDING! Glad she stopped and picked us a pie. read more

Easy access if you are heading west bound from Ft. Worth. Good selection, unfortunately they are rude and have the "don't bother me" attitude. Will never darken the doors of this place again. And neither shall any of my family, a shame was we pass by 4-5 times a month. read more

These are my favorite pecans. I have purchased so many bags for myself, friends and family. The pecans are huge like they have steroids in them. They have a couple of types of pecans as well. This place is a treat. The location is a bit outside of Dallas but worth the drive for quality pecans. read more

I was driving from Dallas to Los Angeles and found this spot on the way. I love pecans and couldn't resist stopping in. Bought a five pound bag and half way home regretted that I didn't get more.

Great items! Excellent quality and fresh products. Super place to buy gifts for your business associates or employees.

This is a small family owned company that sells pecans, some candy and a few other nuts. The owner told me this year is a good year for the quality and quantity of pecans. We bought a large bag of shelled pecans to use for Christmas cookies and dishes. We can't wait to try them. read more

We saw a billboard for pecans And fresh lemonade so we decided to try and find it . Great location . Easy to find . Delicious fresh pecans . Delicious tea and lemonade . read more

I sometimes stop by here on my daily return trip from Dallas. The customer service is always top-notch. The product selection is always of the highest quality, but the best part is the fudge. It seems there is always some seasonal creation that tempts you, and it never fails to please. I buy pecans there for my raw-food diet, and I have never had hulls or moldy pecans. The local honey [you have to ask for it] is very dark and delicious. I will be a loyal customer for a long time. p.s. the fudge is for my sons. There is nothing raw, or vegan about delectable fudge. read more

Great stop for your sweet tooth! Service is friendly and the variety is nice for pecan lovers

Clean, fresh chopped or halves pecans. Brittles, dried fruits, assorted fudge, drinks, T-shirts, caps, pecan shellers, so much to see and best of all, free samples Yumm! There's a good selection of Splenda sweetened products, too. For the low carbers, there's a bag of ground pecan meal that can substitute for flour in recipes. read more

July 2, 2019 on our way back from my 50th high school class reunion we stopped at GPC. Spent nearly an hour there and quite a lot of money. I grew up in West Texas eating native pecans, the ones rich in oil and flavor. Down the street a few houses was where Sam Kovalis and his wife lived. Sam was known for Sam's Fine Candies. I would look forward to his products whenever I went home to San Angelo, TX. Now I will be looking forward to stopping in Santo, Tx. Ironically, GPC was established in 1969, the year I graduated. My only regret for stopping there? I should have bought more product. :-( It's a long drive from Georgetown, KY to Santo, TX, but once there, a visit to GPC is more than worthwhile. -- rkeel@earthlink.net read more

This shop is great. We travel between west Texas and Dallas quite often. We have always seen the shop from the highway, we just never had the chance to stop on. We purchased $100 worth of goodies, pecan brittle, pecans, ice cream, T-shirt's as souvenirs and chocolate covered nuts. Pecan brittle is to die for. Everything is great! We had the pleasure of being rang up by an adorable little girl learning the business (alongside the cashier, of course). The only negative thing to say is the unfriendliness is the older woman with a blonde bob cut and glasses. It's unfortunate to have not been greeted with a "welcome, let me know if I can help you with anything" while all others after us, were. However, I understand and some still have some growing to do. Even at such a wise age. All in all, we will be back with very high hopes of receiving some great customer service the second time around. 5 stars is a representation of the product. read more

I just ordered some of the mixed raw nuts, pralines, fruitcake and pumpkin orange cranberry cake to take to visit friends on Thanksgiving. That last thing is the only one I haven't eaten yet, but it looks beautiful. I was very pleased with the customer service, too. read more

Absolutely delicious place to stop! The candied pecans are such a favorite that my husband gives them for corporate gifts every year and people always want more! We have tried almost every variety they make but the Sweet & Spicy and Aunt Nancy's flavors are favorites because of their sugary cinnamon, Christmas-like flavors. The chocolate covered amaretto pecans are phenomenal as well. Take a moment to stop here, it is well worth your time and a perfect place to pick up thank you gifts and treats for friends! They have beautiful sampler party platters and gift wrapped baskets so you don't show up empty handed at your final destination. The free samples of brittle are worth the stop alone! Can not recommend this little pecan shop enough! read more
