Dees Pecan Company has been family owned and operated since 1925. Dewitt and Myrtle Dees opened their business in Grand Bay, Alabama with the goal of providing their customers with top-quality pecans and excellent customer service. They began as a small town mom & pop store and expanded their shipping department to include all 50 states. Dewitt & Myrtle never met a stranger and it was this character trait that established their customer base and kept them coming back for generations. In the off-season, they supplemented their business with fresh produce and nursery stock, which of course included local varieties of pecan trees. In the mid 1980's, Dewitt & Myrtle turned the business over to their daughter Marylyn. Sadly, Dewitt passed away in January 1986 and Myrtle followed 6 months
