Unlike traditional awards determined by panels or judges, Best of Georgia winners are decided entirely by public voting, making this recognition a direct reflection of community support and customer loyalty across the state.
“This award means so much to us because it came directly from the people we serve,” said Veronica “Ronnie” Wyatt, Co-Founder of Pecan Jacks. “Our goal has always been to create an unforgettable experience—great ice cream, handcrafted candies, and a place where families and friends can make memories. Knowing the community chose us makes this especially meaningful.”
Co-Founder Tim Wyatt echoed that sentiment, emphasizing the brand’s people-first philosophy. “This recognition belongs to the incredible franchise owners and team members who show up every day committed to quality, hospitality, and consistency,” Wyatt said. “We’re honored and grateful to everyone who took the time to vote and support Pecan Jacks.”
The company also recognized Sherika and Mae Ekpo, franchise owners of Pecan Jacks West Midtown Atlanta, for their outstanding leadership and dedication to the brand. Their location in one of Atlanta’s most vibrant neighborhoods has made them a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
