The fondest memories ever, as a child we lived in Georgia, South Carolina, and Indiana. Road trips is how we went on trips, and the highlight for me was to find a Stuckey's, I always got a pecan log. When my parents decided to move to California, I was 12, and broken hearted because I knew the road trips and Stuckey's stops would be few and far between. As a child Stuckey's was my happy place, and such great memories. I live in Southern California, and recently have been traveling to Indiana, due to the passing of family members. My... Read more

My next trip back I definitely am going to find a Stuckey's. Thank you for all the happy memories.... Collapse

Just two days ago - My sisters and I were travelling across Kansas on the way back from our great Aunt Pat's house in Hays. We had gathered together as sisters to pay memory to our mom since we were raised in the Lawrence area. We had been talking about Stuckey's as we drove, and that we hadn't seen any of them since our childhood. We thought they were all closed. When we were kids, we had always wanted to get a pecan log roll, but never did because of lack of funds. We would stop at Stuckey's but never... Read more

Just two days ago - My sisters and I were travelling across Kansas on the way back from our great Aunt Pat's house in Hays. We had gathered together as sisters to pay memory to our mom since we were raised in the Lawrence area. We had been talking about Stuckey's as we drove, and that we hadn't seen any of them since our childhood. We thought they were all closed. When we were kids, we had always wanted to get a pecan log roll, but never did because of lack of funds. We would stop at Stuckey's but never purchase anything. So when we saw the Stuckey's by Manhattan, Kansas --we were ELATED and had to stop! We were sooo excited that we could now buy a pecan roll because we had the funds. We asked the cashier where they were in the store. He told us that he had NONE! Someone had come in before us and bought ALL of the pecan rolls that he had - $100 worth. We were soooooo sad!. So we didn't get to purchase the pecan log roll that we had always wanted as children. We were so DISHEARTENED. I did buy a Stuckey's t-shirt, but that did not diminish my craving for a pecan log roll. Who knows when we will get back to Kansas again to try to purchase a pecan log roll. Maybe I will just have to order some online and have them ready to surprise my sisters when we get together again.... Collapse

I've been going to Stuckey's since I was a kid in the 60's. Love the products! BUT the prices of most of their personal products ie the candy is expensive. I recently found out that a store that was located near me in McAlester Oklahoma had shutdown over a year ago. I often times wanted to buy one of the pecan logs, but paying over $5 for a candy bar is a bit ridiculous, especially in a low income market like McAlester Oklahoma. These are just my take on things I've seen.

We used to always enjoy going to the Stuckey's in Shartlesville Pennsylvania after hiking in the mountains ..the pecan rolls were good and all the food was good it was a nice place to go and unwind at any time..

Eating My Way on Route 66 My memories of Route 66 slide in and out I’ve found. From the backseat of a 56 Dodge I read the Dick Tracy comic strip and bounced around. No seatbelt to hold me down. I saw an elbow, an arm burned in the sun. Dad’s hand on the wheel, the other on his messy burger on a bun. Macaroni for me, one of my favorite cheesy treats. Dad knew what I ate And warned with Mom’s worn phrase, “Don’t spoil your dinner even if you’re home late.” Mom’s proof were Stuckey’s receipts. Not like... Read more

I saw an elbow, an arm burned in the sun. Dad’s hand on the wheel, the other on his messy burger on a bun. Macaroni for me, one of my favorite cheesy treats. Dad knew what I ate And warned with Mom’s worn phrase, “Don’t spoil your dinner even if you’re home late.” Mom’s proof were Stuckey’s receipts. Not like we had a seven course meal and a piece of meat. The views out the window on these hot summer days were profound. From the billboards of Stuckey’s pecan logs and pounds of peanut butter brittle. Nothing was out of bounds. One Stuckey’s after another, and flavorful pie, Dad knew how to keep me quiet, just give me anything I spied. Mom had asked me how I enjoyed the rides aside from the receipts I didn’t know she’d hide. I knew if I told her about the milkshakes and pie she might not let me go with Dad, so I lied. I’d rather have remembered myself in a new Chevy Corvette, Dad had the two tone Dodge cause he refused to go into debt. It was enough he paid for anything with cheese on the menu, As for me, I’d go from Illinois to Santa Monica pier and look out the rear as long as I had Root Beer. Looking back on a slice of my life as a kid My memory of Route 66 was so limited. I wish I’d had more glorious and nostalgic moments Rather than thinking of Stuckey’s donuts. I’ll defer to Route 66 experts who found America on the road …they found Route 66 drama and greatness we’re told. I found lots of bathrooms because Dad let me eat hot dogs, pecan logs, and drink anything cold.... Collapse

Jennifer remembered eating these, when she lived in Abingdon, VA. About every time we traveled their, or passed Abingdon, she would mention Stuckey's Pecan Rolls, and yum yum how good they were!! I had tried to find the place, but apparently they had closed down. I had bought her other pecan rolls, but she never liked any of them. But just today Mom and I, were in checkout line at Rural King.

Growing up in northern Ohio in the late 1950s - early '60s, every summer we would make the then18 hour drive to southern KY to visit relatives. The interstate highways were still under construction so each year would be a journey of hop-on for awhile, then off to old 2-lane roads, then on to another stretch of interstate(the same drive can now be made in about 7 1/2 hours). My brother and I quickly learned to look for the peaked roofs at the exits and we'd yell "STUCKEYS!!!". We'd stop, stretch, and shop. What I remember most were the bagged... Read more

What I remember most were the bagged candies and the wonderful, tacky wooden souvenirs: outhouses, ashtrays and figures. We had a number at one time, sadly gone over the years. Thanks for the memories!... Collapse

In the 70’s our family would drive from California to Michigan along Hwy80 and my dad (rest his soul) would always make stops at Stuckey’s in Nebraska and Iowa. We LOVED those pecan log/rolls!!! I’m in Iowa right now and so sad that there aren’t any roadside Stuckey’s!

3/29/25 Today I stopped at an estate sale and found an old Stuckey's candy tin. I knew immediately I had to have it! Stuckey's gave me my first job when I was 13 or 14. Yes back in the 60's you could work at that age. I shared with the Ladies in charge of the sale my story and we all tripped down memory lane. We all had a favorite memory of Stuckey's and our childhood. So grateful Stephanie Stuckey is trying to bring her family's legacy back again so future generations can experience it's unique childhood treasures.

I can remember seeing billboards for Stuckey’s and seeing the stores from the outside on family trips many, many years ago but sadly we never stopped. That’s just something my dad never did. Reading all these letters from everyone makes me realize what I missed. The pecan log rolls sound delicious. Maybe one day I’ll see another Stuckey’s store. I guarantee I’ll stop and go inside and buy a log roll. Better late than never, I guess.

Growing up in Eastman we always toured the candy plant! Our local store was our Sunday afternoon treat. Talking parrot was our first stop….the Stuckey family was very down to earth and offered the locals opportunities to own Stuckey franchises across the US

My sister and I were raised in stuckeys stores. My mom became a a manager when I was in 3rd grade and worked for them until after I graduated. Getting to meet all the people was our favorite part. Then I continued to work for them another 3 years. It was a good life.

I have fond memories of traveling with my parents and stopping at some of the Stuckey's that we would come to. I have a question to ask, I wanted to know if my memory serves me right, did you sell pecan divinity??

Thanks for your comment! At one time we did sell Divinity, so you are correct.

Back in the 70's my parents and I would head out to somewhere new in our travel trailer and would stop at a Stuckey's in every different state we could, and I would get a pennant from that state. Still have them hanging in my man cave. Great memories!

When I was a child my family would drive to Florida once a year. My dad would stop at all the Stuckeys on the way and buy me a pecan roll. I loved them! Recently I drove to Florida with my daughter and was so happy to find a Stuckeys in Georgia. We stopped and I bought a bunch of pecan rolls. Now I’m back home in Pennsylvania and was so happy to find a Stuckeys website. I ordered 12 pecan rolls I’m thankful for Stuckeys! 🤗 LuAnn Schwab
