Nut House is set to re-open

Two couples recently purchased The Nut House on Route 66 near Claremore, Okla., and the business will re-open Thursday.

The Nut House gift shop, at 26677 S. Highway 66, was purchased at an auction by Darryl and Hazel Ward and Fred and Joyce Hannah, all of Claremore. Its hours will be from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday through Sunday until Thanksgiving. After that, it will be open during those hours seven days a week until New Year’s.

Hazel Ward told me that while the complex will continue to be renovated, The Nut House will sell all kinds of nuts (including Oklahoma pecans), candy and fudge. It also eventually will sell “gift-type items,” she said. In the spring, they tentatively plan to have an herb festival.

“We’re really excited about this” business, Ward said. “I think there’s a lot we can do with it.”

The Nut House’s phone number is 918-266-1604. Its Web site is at www.66nuts.com.
