Now celebrating more than two decades in business, Pittsboro-based Cackalacky® is one of North Carolina’s most recognizable culinary exports — Famously Original® Cackalacky® Sauce, a Cheerwine® collaboration, the UNC-licensed Carolina Tar Heels® BBQ sauce served at Kenan Stadium and the Dean Dome, spiced peanuts, hot sauces, branded coffee, craft beer, dog treats, apparel, and more.
The company is headquartered in Pittsboro and remains family-owned and operated. Cackalacky® is an SBA-certified Small Business and “Got To Be NC” member, garnering attention far beyond our home state with features on Food Network, NPR, Comedy Central, ABC, The Washington Post, Southern Living, Bon Appétit, and beyond. Their products are stocked at Costco, Harris Teeter, Wegmans, Walmart, Publix, and independent grocers from Florida to Kentucky.
Their Pittsboro headquarters is open to the public by appointment only. For visitors, the best way to encounter the brand is in the wild: tucked into gift bags and welcome baskets, on tables at Chatham County restaurants, behind the counter at local retailers, and at festivals and tailgates across the state. For event planners, wedding hosts, corporate teams, and hospitality partners, Cackalacky® is a natural fit for welcome baskets, party favors, and homegrown gifts that carry a sense of place; one that’s Southern, distinctive, and authentically Carolina. Wholesale and custom orders available at cackalacky.com.
