History 

Under the Pecan Tree opened as a brick-and-mortar store in the Shops of Dunwoody on December 1, 2015.

Amanda, a native Atlantan who grew up on Stratford Road (just across Peachtree from Lenox Square) and spent her summers and Christmas vacations working at Lenox in various stores and kiosks.  It was there when she got the itch to own her own gift shop!  

The brick-and-mortar store was a sort of modern-day general store (think the Olson’s store on Little House on the Prairie... or Sam Drucker’s store on Green Acres).  There were products for every member of the family (from infant to grandparent) – primarily because Amanda couldn’t help herself.  If she saw a fabulous product that she thought her Dunwoody customers would like, and she knew it wasn’t available at another store close by, she would order it.  She could always squeeze a few more items in to those 950 square feet!

When it came time to renew the lease, the landlord wanted a longer lease term than Amanda was willing to accept.  (Who knows what the next five years will bring?)  So, in March 2025, the Shops of Dunwoody store closed and the Online Store and Pop-Up shop took its place.
