History

In the 1940’s, Larry Monahan Sr. was considered a pioneer in the development of water blanched Virginia peanuts. In 1949, he began to sell roasted nuts to passing tourists from his family owned restaurant in Virginia. It was then that the beloved Peanut Roaster brand was born.

The peanut business quickly outgrew the restaurant. Larry’s son John, who studied Agri-Business in college, decided to take over the roasted nut business. In 1985, a peanut processing facility was opened in Cary, NC. A bit over 10 years later, in 1997, a new production and distribution facility in Henderson, NC was opened. Using the same recipe as in 1949, and some innovative flavored peanut recipes, business grew quickly. The Peanut Roaster surpassed others in the industry by roasting and packaging peanuts daily, which created a reputation for quality and freshness, and by providing patrons with deliciously different flavored peanuts. The Peanut Roaster's roasted nuts and flavored peanuts have been enjoyed by customers in every state and other countries. We continue to innovate in the 21 century with new flavored peanuts, processes and partnerships to bring the best quality to our customers.
