About Us

Welcome to I.B. Nuts and then some.

I.B Nuts & Fruit Too was created in Columbia, Missouri in 1990 by Dave Hockett.  The business started as a line of delicious snacks and a route delivery model that brought fresh nuts, dried fruits, chocolates and various combinations of all, directly to companies and offices on a weekly basis.  Customers loved it, and so did the businesses who welcomed Dave inside their doors.

As the delivery business grew, and word spread, it became evident that a storefront would be the next logical move.    The storefront success led to the offering of Distributorships to other entrepreneurs.   We currently have 3 active Distributors.  Distributorships  are still available in limited areas.

In 2009, Dave sold the business to Charles and Vicki Lynch.   We changed the name to I.B. Nuts and then some and eventually moved the storefront to our current location at 4603 Johh Garry Drive. Columbia, Missouri.  You can still enjoy our many fabulous nuts and candies along with our great selection of “Made in Missouri” products, either by visiting our local store or ordering from our website.

I.B. Nuts and then some… is a true Columbia original.   We offer everything you need for a truly special, one of a kind gift basket!  Our specialty!  And you will find a huge assortment of seasonal and year-round gifts such as Mizzou merchandise, organic teas and mixes.

We hope to see you soon.
