What We Offer (nuts, silly!)

Thoughtfully crafted. Freshly roasted. Made with care.

At UR Nuts, we do one thing really well - and we do it with purpose. We start with raw, premium-quality nuts and roast them onsite daily in small batches using only dry heat - never oils. It's a process that keeps the flavor pure, the crunch just right, and the nutrition intact. It's also a nod to doing things the long way - the right way.

Our downtown Frederick shop brings back the charm of old-school snack counters, where bins are filled with roasted peanuts, cashews, almonds, and house-made blends. But beyond the nuts, we offer something more: a space built on joy, nostalgia, and community. And yes, a little mischief too - courtesy of our official mascot, Chippy the chipmunk, who brings smiles, sass, and a little nutty wisdom to everything we do.

And for those who can't make it in, our monthly membership ensures you never miss out. We guarantee nuts are shipped within two weeks of roasting - so you get that just-made flavor wherever you are.

We also collaborate with local artists and makers to offer nut-inspired merchandise - handcrafted nut bowls and charcuterie boards, playful nut-shaped dog toys, fresh nut butters, and exclusive UR Nuts gear (including some with Chippy's cheeky little face). It's all part of building something bigger than snacks. This is about craft. It's about connection. And it's a little bit about celebrating the courage to go nuts.

Our Location

History preserved. Future reimagined. And just a little nutty.

UR Nuts is proud to call home one of Frederick's original downtown buildings - a structure that's stood for more than 200 years. When we found it, we didn't just see brick and beams. We saw legacy. Possibility. A place that had already seen centuries of stories - and was ready to tell a new one.

We're restoring the building with care and intention, blending its historic bones with a fresh, modern design that welcomes today's community. It's where old-world craftsmanship meets the warmth of something new - a place to gather, laugh, and maybe leave with a bag of something unforgettable.

And if you see a mischievous little chipmunk on our signs or merch, that's Chippy - our unofficial mascot and a reminder to keep things fun (and never skip snack time).

Because this isn't just about selling nuts. It's about planting something meaningful in the heart of a town we've grown to love. One roast, one story, one customer at a time.

Our Story

2022

The Spark

After discovering Frederick in 2022, I knew I had found something special — a historic downtown full of life, diversity, and heart, just 45 minutes from 6.5 million people. It was the perfect place to bring a bold new idea to life.

2023

Finding the Perfect Space

We searched for months to find the ideal storefront with beautiful glass windows, great foot traffic, and the right size to build something truly unique and welcoming.

2024

All Local, All In

We teamed up with a dream team of Frederick locals — architect Marty Bates, attorney David Weaver, designer Jon Weaver, CCS Contractors, local tradespeople, and Woodsboro Bank — and kicked off a full renovation of one of downtown's original historic buildings.

Learning the Craft

We partnered with a long-standing West Virginia nut shop to learn the art of nut roasting, secured our antique and modern roasters, and perfected our process to deliver the freshest nuts possible.
