This store is so cute. Lots of cute things when you walk in on the right. A big variety of pecans all sorts of ways. As my cousin said, they have samples you can try. I'm sure glad I did and found out I liked the key lime flavor and the white cherry the best. Friendly staff to help you if you need it. We were the only customers at the time. They are right off 95 so you don't have far to drive. read more

Ventured to Florence from Columbia to go to the local tea shop and made plans to stop here as well. This place was a big punch with so many things to scoop up. Fortunately for me I made it a point to not go crazy with my South Carolina swag as my bags to get back home are already bursting at the seams. If you're looking for some cute locally sourced kitchen towels, all the flavored butters your heart could ask for or a great gift from South Carolina this is the place to be. I left here with only a personalized knife but the pecan butter was calling my name. The staff was very welcoming and the store was organized and stocked for all the tourists and locals read more

While on a road trip I saw a sign for this place and decided to check it out. This is a mom and pops farmer market type of stole with all local products. They have a lot of different chocolate covered nuts and fruits like blueberries and cherries. A few sugar free options. Local chips (some weird one like okra) , pies , jams ,etc. I loved that they have a section we're you can try a few different products (covered blueberries were delicious). Now everything is extremely expensive. $20-30 for a container of chocolate covered nuts or fruits was a bit much. But you are helping support the local market. If you are in the area come check them out. read more

Soooo many delicious offerings and an aesthetic store layout, as well as kind service from employees make this the perfect stop for us to grab some sweet and delectable Southern goodies on our way home from Charleston back to New York. We were beyond happy to find this wonderful shop to break up our road trip and bring a taste of South Carolina back up north with us. read more

I have family in Florence and always visit Young's when I'm there. It's easy to spend $100.00 here. The pecan selection is extensive. I bought four packages and they were all good. Bought chocolate fudge and pecan praline fudge. Didn't care for them. The blueberry preserves I bought are awesome! Haven't opened the strawberry preserves yet, but expect the same. They have tons of canned items... Preserves, pickled just about everything you can think of. I recommend a visit for sure. read more

Purchased a chocolate pecan pie at Young's on November 24. Cut out the first piece today Nov. 26. Much too sweet. Only taste is sugar and the pie has a granulated sugar texture. No chocolate or pecan flavors. But, there is a weird burned or scorched undertaste that is very offensive. Couldn't finish that first slice and dumped the rest. Very disappointed and a big waste of 13.00. read more

This store offers a variety of items. From toys, books, jams, snacks, ice-cream, desserts, sandwiches and baked goods. I'm assuming they are known for their pecans since it was boxed, packaged in different flavors. Plus there is a humongous letters that spell out pecans on top of their roof. What drew me in was the FREE SAMPLE sign. I entered near closing time (about 30 minutes) and was able to sample a few things before they began to clean up. I bought a box of pecans, books, small South Carolina trinkets, boiled peanuts and a pecan pie. Sadly, I wasn't able to sample the pecan pie before I bought it. It was too sweet for me, the crust was soft, and the pecans were not crunchy. My mother on the other hand really enjoyed it. This store also has a website that you can order from. However, it doesn't offer over half of the things that they sell at the store. They have a private parking lot right in front of the store. The store has a handful of tables where you can enjoy your snacks or food that you purchased. I thoughts that the products were reasonably priced, considering there are different hotels across the street. Everything was well organized. This is a great place to find something to bring back home for all ages. read more

Great food. AND fabulous customer service! A must "drop in" in you like/love pecans and many specialty foods!!!

Saw the billboards for this place and coincidentally it was across the street from the lunch stop (Julia Belles). Bought the big sampler tin-- fantastic product, just wish the prices were a bit friendlier! It definitely prevented us from buying more as gifts. Staff was very nice and there were lots of pecan choices. Also wish they had samples to make choosing easier! That might have persuaded me to spend more as well! read more

I finally made it here. Chocolate covered pecans are the best in South Carolina. They have a free sample bar. Prices are the same online as in the store. Best Buy is The 2 lb. white tub is the cheapest per ounce of the chocolate covered pecans. Worse purchase is the Benne Wafers. The taste is awful. No sample given. Nasty tasting wafer, no favor. I got a buy one get one free. Now I have two bags to throw away. Don't waste your money or calories on this one. Interesting place to stop on a road trip just to look around. Staff is very friendly. read more

Young's Pecans and specialty food gifts are amazing. The selection of quality products is extensive and service is top notch! I have been shopping here for years and highly recommend! read more

This exit is where we always stop for gas whether heading south or north. One day I wandered over to this store and I have stopped in almost every time since. You can grab a sandwich, soup or dessert which includes both fresh baked goods as well as hand dipped ice cream. They also have great gifts in this store. I have purchased, pickles, bloody mary mix and of course pralines and pecan logs but they also have non-food gifts. Today I purchased a pecan pie for Thanksgiving dinner. It look great and based on everything else I have eaten from here I am sure it will not disappoint. read more

Been buying from Young's for at least twenty years. But I stopped by the Florence SC store on July 14, 2023 and snacked on the pecan samples before buying a Pecan Pie to take to my mother. We cut the Pie for lunch on July 15, 2023 awaiting a delicious bite of Young's Pecan Pie. To my dismay I had been sold a dried out Pecan Pie that wasn't worth eating. So be careful when buying their pies out of season because mine was just awful. Buyer beware!!! read more

DON'T GO HERE! If you like pecan pies and don't want to be traumatized by having the best pecan pie and never having anywhere come close. Pro tip: ask Pandora to check your order, she will make sure the pie is up to standards. She tossed the pie i picked and made sure I got a perfect pie. I love and hate that I will never have a better pecan pie till I come back to Young's read more

They have some of the best pecan muffins and chocolate products. Treats are prepared fresh daily. read more

This is great place to go for a short pit stop directly off of I95 in South Carolina. There is plenty of parking and a huge amount of free samples from chocolate covered pecans to pecan bars. You can buy small bags as well as large tubs of nuts. They carry an abundance of novelty items and gift items. read more

So much more than a candy store! Stopped in here to browse while our car was being worked on. Lots of samples. Lots of items made with pecans. I bought a pecan log. We use to get these when I was a little girl and went to Georgia to visit relatives. They have other cutesy souvenir sorts of things. After sampling the cheese straws, I had to get those, too. And a HUGE can of peanuts. A great stop while traveling through SC. Bathrooms were very clean. Person at checkout was nice enough. read more

Tourist trap. This place is like a Cracker Barrel knick knack store with nuts, except 2x more expensive. If you're into that sort of thing, go for it, otherwise, skip. read more

It is a nice fun environment. The lunches here are amazing. They also have cute gifts in the gift section.

An awesome store and definitely worth your time for a pit stop the Honeycrisp pecans are my favorite ....yes they're not cheap but nuts are not...... most of us are quite expensive. But seriously highly recommend taking the time to check out this place.....very clean and a helpful Staff......don't be shy, try a couple samples at their AWESOME "Sample Bar "....it will help you determine what to buy,since you will probably want way more than you will get read more

Reminiscent of a road-side farm stand, but it is not. Many of the products that were being sold were actually being "repackaged/resold" by Young Plantations. We spent over $40 for just a few items, and I agree with Kim, that you can go other places and do better. It was a trip down memory lane, and we won't be back. (If you ever drive on 65 South, in Clanton, Alabama, Heaton's Pecan Farm is the real deal. They only sell a very few items... pecans and local peaches, along with ice-cream and candies made with the pecans. They are still an original farm-stand model...OH, and if you do get there, their pecan mini-tarts are the bomb!) read more

I like taking visiting family to this store because it has all sorts of neat knick knacks and baubles there. They also offer a lot of baked goods, pecan candies and various canned and pickled items. All in all though, it's very expensive. There are other places offering local products that cost less but since this is conveniently located near the highway, I guess they feel okay with charging more money. They have samples of their products so at least you can try it out before buying it. It's hard to go wrong with chocolate covered pecans though. This isn't somewhere I'd go on my own for just stuff for myself. I generally only pop in to buy something when one of my family members asks me to send them something. read more

Love the pecan pie. My favorite. We've also bought chocolate covered pecans for many years. Maybe my tastebuds have changed but they are WAXYI I wish the coating tasted more like pure chocolate and less like wax and sugar. Also, I thought the pecans were from SC.... but I think they are from elsewhere. What state? Or what country? I am not sure and would like to know. And in this age of knowledge, it's always comforting to know that the products we buy are ethical: Chemicals? Labor practices? Environmental concerns? It's nutty! read more

This place is right next door to the rest stop... Only reason I walked inside because of the huge sign saying free sample...when I walked in the stuff there was all weird looking...like antics things I would not purchase...the free samples were only cookies and weird pieces of chocolate...it was a big store...only two people worked there...I'm not too sure what this store really sells cause it has like the most random things you can imagine... read more

Young plantations was wonderful! So much fun stuff and samples galore! Their entire back counter is full of samples! Can't wait to order more online! read more

They have the best ice cream. I had to stop yo get my pecan fix & my grape nehi soda. Traveling on I95 SC is the place to stop. They had do many items to see. It is a nice stop. read more

Good selection of pecans and various nuts. Great gifts for family and friends. A good stop on the road

What a great Southern experience! I stopped off the highway and was pleasantly surprised. It was a true change of pace after a long drive--more than just a truck stop--a real experience with delicious food I could bring as a present for my host. Will stop again! read more

Love this place! Their chocolate butter toffee pecans are delectable! Southern gifts galore! Friendly staff and a delicious bakery too! Worth the stop for sure! A nut lovers heaven! read more

Young has great products so I went there today (June 1st) to buy a gift for a friend. Bought a $50 gift tin that was on sale. Got it home and thank goodness my wife took it out of the box before giving to friend. The lid of the tin says in big letters "HAPPY HOLIDAYS". At least 6 months old! Very tacky, cheap trick. Thought Young had more class than pull something like this. No expire date anywhere on tin or box. Taking it back tomorrow. read more

I heard about this place from a friend so I decided to buy a couple of gift packages for my parents. They shipped my items to the wrong address - mine, not my parents. It was a glitch with their site, yet they state it was my fault. I wish I had a screen capture showing the shipment address was my parents and not mine. Their shipping prices are expensive. All I got was a sorry. Well you just lost a customer. Of course, they got my money so what do they care. I won't buy from them again, and I won't recommend them to my friends either. read more

Young Plantations did an incredible job with my wedding favors at my wedding! Everyone raved about the cute little boxes of delicious chocolate covered nuts! The customer service was excellent and super helpful with getting everything set up for my wedding favors and it was so easy and stress free. I spoke with Shannon who was so patient with me and made the whole process very pleasant. I've gotten to visit the store and I LOVE the sample bar- especially the chocolate covered espresso beans! Thanks Young Plantations! read more

I have been vising Young Plantations for several years now. It is always my go to place to find delicious pecan treats, fresh baked breads and YUMMY Pecan Pies! Their employees are always friendly and more than willing to help. This store is the perfect stop for any gift, whether birthday, get well, congratulations, holiday, etc. It's a one stop shop! I can pick up my favorite sour dough bread and a great gift while I'm there. Of course, I can't leave without sampling their delicious treats at the sample bar (those Chocolate covered pecans are my favorite!). So, I make sure not to leave without a box of those and the Butter Roasted and Salted Pecans. (I don't think my husband would let me back in the house if I can home without them!). During the holidays I send my parents in Wyoming a pecan pie and pecan tin, which can be mailed straight from the store, so convenient! I highly recommend Young Plantations! read more
