Such a unique and enjoyable experience. We stayed for a few minutes and drank tea with the owner while a fresh batch of peanuts roasted. We also nibbled in some baklava and other treats. Definitely stop in if you’re in the area!
The cutest peanut shop! Loved how you can customize! The owners was so nice. 10 outta 10 recommend checking out.
The Peanut Shoppe is a Memphis institution!! I have known the owner, Rida, for almost 20 years. I used to walk by his old location after a workout at a local gym and smell him roasting nuts. I walked in one day and we struck up an immediate friendship. We moved from Memphis 16 years ago but every time I go back he warmly greets me. He recently moved to a new location on South Main just a block from the Peabody Hotel. This is the finest nut shop in the country. He roasts daily all kinds of nuts and has lots of different types of candies. Everything he has is amazing! He also lots of memorabilia that takes you back to a bygone era. Treat yourself and come get some amazing nuts and candies and walk away with a smile from his warm personality.

This place is wonderful with all varieties of specialty nuts and assorted candies. However, I must mention the owner. The owner is one of the most beautiful souls I've ever met. He shared so much of his life with us and it was a truly amazing experience. I will never forget his kindness and genuine spirit. I'm so thankful we decided to walk into his shop. This man knows how to curate the most delicious nut varieties and he is incredibly knowledgeable of much in life. It was a joy to go into his shop and an unforgettable experience in the best way possible.
Our best stop in Memphis!! Rida is the most amazing man with the kindest heart. We are so lucky to have walked in his shop. I’m pretty sure we spent over an hour in the shop just talking and letting the kids play. Last night when I was putting my son in bed he asked if we could go back to Memphis when he turns 6 to go see Rida! 😍 seriously the warm peanuts and candy were just a bonus to the experience and fun we had with Rida. I promised my son and daughter that we will definitely go back there when he is 6.
Everything I bought there was amazing but the chocolate toffee peanuts are on another level of delicious, I’m addicted. 100% worth the drive from across town.
Our favorite stop in Memphis! So much so we went twice in one day! The owner is an incredibly kind, passionate man who taught us much about life and nuts. And the nuts are delicious! Hope to make it back here someday, we'll finish these nuts today, but carry this memory for years to come. Thanks Rida!
This has been the highlight of our trip to Memphis. We've been to Beale Street, BB Kings, Central BBQ, Gus's Fried Chicken, and Graceland. The Peanut Shoppe tops them all. We chatted with the owner for more than 20 minutes. He taught us about peanuts, the history of the shop, we chatted about our families, etc. The nuts are delicious, but the lesson and company are even better!
Such a fun & delicious treat! Owners are super friendly and engaging. Great flavor in the peanuts, learned things about peanuts, & just enjoyed our visit to the Peanut Shoppe! Totally worth stopping in for a yummy snack!!
Candy, Nuts, Popcorn, oh my! Such a wonderful downtown, family owned institution! Wonderful experience as soon as you walk through the door and you are pulled in by the smell of roasted nuts and fresh popcorn! The owner is helpful, friendly and ready to tell you stories of the shoppe and Memphis! Go visit today and grab some extra for the squirrels along the way~🥜🍿🌰
