Pecana Milk Expands Nationally to Nearly 4,500 Stores, Debuting in Walmart, Natural Grocers, and Sprouts

AUSTIN, TEXAS – Pecana, the first and only organic pecan milk on the market, has officially gone national with Walmart, launching in 3,800 stores and online at Walmart.com this November.

Founded by third-generation Texas pecan farmer Kortney Chase, Pecana's expansion includes new placements at Natural Grocers, Harmons, and Sprouts Farmers Market (Texas), alongside its recent national launch with Walmart – the world's largest retailer – bringing the brand's footprint to nearly 4,500 stores nationwide ahead of the holiday season.

This milestone positions Pecana as one of the fastest-growing brands in the plant-based milk category, offering a distinctly Southern alternative crafted from 100% American-grown pecans.

Pecana was founded in 2023 with a mission to spotlight the naturally rich, buttery flavor of the pecan through a cleaner, more sustainable alternative to conventional dairy. The brand's flagship product is organic, shelf-stable pecan milk, free from seed oils, gums, and added sugars.

"Growing up on my family's pecan farms, I saw firsthand how special this ingredient is," said Kortney Chase, Founder and CEO of Pecana. "With Pecana, we're not only elevating a Southern staple but redefining what nut milk can be: rich, real, and rooted in American agriculture."

This expansion follows Pecana's 2024 retail debut at top grocers across Texas, California, and New Mexico – including H-E-B, Erewhon, Albertson's, and Whole Foods – where it gained traction for its creamy texture and premium sourcing.

"Retailers are looking for differentiation within the plant-based milk set," added Chase. "Pecana offers a flavor profile and origin story that resonate with consumers seeking authenticity and taste, not compromise."

As the plant-based milk market evolves, retailers are diversifying beyond almond and oat offerings. Pecan milk remains an untapped segment with strong regional roots and growing national appeal. Pecana bridges this gap, appealing to health-conscious shoppers, flexitarians, and culinary enthusiasts alike.

With farms across Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, Pecana's farm-to-cart supply chain reinforces transparency and domestic sourcing. Its organic, shelf-stable pecan milk comes in Unsweetened Original, Unsweetened Vanilla, and Praline – perfect for coffee, cereal, smoothies, or holiday recipes.
