Orlando Carr is the visionary behind PecanO's, LLC, a handcrafted cookie manufacturer based in Wilmington, North Carolina. Though not a baker by trade, Orlando has always been a dreamer and a doer. Inspired by a cherished family recipe passed down from his Aunt Hattie, he saw an opportunity to create something unique and meaningful. With determination and years of trial and error, Orlando perfected the PecanO's Original Flavor, which has become the heart of the business.

Orlando is proud to be a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) through the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC). This recognition reflects his commitment to not only crafting exceptional cookies but also uplifting and empowering his community through his entrepreneurial journey.

His approachability and down-to-earth personality are woven into the PecanO's brand, making it more than just cookies—it’s about building connections. From interactive flavor suggestions to creating a kid-friendly, family-focused experience, Orlando's vision is centered on celebrating love, perseverance, and the bonds that bring people together.

Through hard work and family values, Orlando shares a taste of Southern tradition with customers nationwide, inviting everyone to become part of the PecanO's story. For him, every cookie represents more than a delicious treat; it’s a celebration of heritage, community, and determination.
