The Future for Heaton Pecans Cadey has high expectations for the business in the coming years. “My goals for Heaton Pecans are to continue to grow our corporate orders, increase our space in retail stores all across the South and I want to see the Heaton Pecans name spread worldwide,” Cadey continues, “And possibly be chosen for Christmas gifts for worldwide host shows. In terms of retail business, I feel like the sky is the limit—I have so many dreams for this business!”
The William Cliff Heaton Junior Foundation However, the good that Heaton Pecans offers does not stop at their mouthwatering treats. “The William Cliff Heaton Junior Foundation is a huge part of our business and my dream,” Cadey says. “The goal is to watch this foundation grow and show everyone that with the purchase of a tin of our pecans for the holiday season, you are giving back to a wonderful cause that is so close to our family.” Cadey explains the purpose of the Foundation: “Heaton Pecans has always strived to bring a bit of joy to people with every tin of pecans opened. Along the way, our son and brother, Cliff Heaton Junior, brought this kind of happiness to everyone he encountered. “However, tragically, after battling drug addiction for 10 years, we lost him to the disease in 2017. At that time, our family created The William Cliff Heaton Junior Foundation to provide funds for young adults struggling on the same path. Our family helps dozens of young adults enter treatment programs that they could not have otherwise afforded to aid in their recovery.” Learn more about the Foundation and all it does at theheatonfoundation.org.
