Local pecan and candy producer converts 1900 theater building into candy operation

All the Fixins Pecans located in Twin City recently expanded their operations to make use of 2,000 square feet 1900’s warehouse space. The property at 603 S. Railroad Ave., Twin City, was an operational movie theater in the mid-1900’s known as Graymont Movies. Sometime in the mid to late 1900’s, the theater closed, and the building degraded quickly and was only used for storage.

“We are so thankful that our business has outgrown our working space, and we are excited to take advantage of the new room. The transformation was quite an undertaking, and we are thankful the local contractors could work with us to get this beautiful old building converted into a space for us to use for our busy Christmas season,” says owner, Janna Tucker.

All the Fixin’s celebrated five years of business in November 2023, and has a diverse set of business streams. They grow their own pecans in Ocilla, GA and ship their pecan products nationwide online and to other retailers. They also have two retail store locations in Twin City and Swainsboro that serve breakfast, lunch, casseroles, desserts and feature local Georgia products in their gift shop.

They started renting the Twin City property in 2020 from local businessman Clark Dixon. Over time, as they were outgrowing the space, they realized that there was a bricked-up archway connecting their storefront with a large warehouse space immediately behind their store. They purchased the property in 2023 and began the renovation work to open the brick archway, restore the three large front windows, expose the original brick walls and install lights and electrical outlets throughout the new space. The new warehouse space will be used for storing inventory, making candies and pecans, shipping products and additional kitchen space.

In January, the Twin City location will have new store hours: 6:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. and will use the new space to serve breakfast and will also be constructing a drive-through for customers to enjoy. “We are thankful for the support of our local community and also so thankful for our team of employees who serve up many forms of goodness to our customers each and every day,” says Tucker.
