Our Story
Background
In 1986, with only one small batch roaster and three employees cooking peanuts, Marion Smith and his son Craig opened the doors to Whitley's Peanut Factory, which still stands as a retail store off Route 17 in Gloucester, VA. Due to high demand, they soon opened a second retail location in Williamsburg, VA, and a new production facility in Hayes, VA. In 2017 Whitley's opened a third retail location in Richmond, VA and a second Distribution Center in Gloucester County, which gave them an additional 10,000 sq. feet. Thirty-five years and millions of peanuts later, Whitley's Peanut Factory has become a local staple for "Home-Cooked" Virginia peanuts and peanut confections. Todd Smith, now president, continues his family's legacy of cooking Virginia peanuts to golden perfection.
