The Corporation consisted of three facilities in Blakely, Georgia; Suffolk, Virginia; and Plainvie, Texas.

Before running the Peanut Corporation of America, he along with his father and two brothers, ran a struggling $50,000 a year peanut operation in 1977 and transformed it into a $30,000,000 business and eventually sold it. Parnell bought another plant in 2001 and eventually started the Peanut Corporation of America when he bought an operation in Blakely and made it triple its revenue and turn a profit in 2004, the first profit it made in 15 years.

In 2009, Stewart Parnell shipped out tainted peanuts to various places across the United States, causing around 714 people to get sick from salmonella poisoning. At least nine people died from it and half of the people that got sick were children.
