Guestbook

Share your favorite Stuckey’s memory! Our guestbook is your opportunity to share those experiences with others.

Just about everybody has a Stuckey‘s story, recalling a time when they took road trips in the family station wagon and found “highway happiness” at one of our stores.

We would love to hear your most fond memories from yesterday or today, and we know others would love to share in your experiences as well. Please take a moment or two and post your comments in our guestbook.

I remember stopping at Stuckey's off I 75 in Georgia in the 60s and 70s. I was pleased to be driving through there again in 2022 and see a Stuckey's integrated with a BP station in Perry Georgia, including buying candy, a pecan log roll, and even saw the Stuckey's dog park. I would love to see them comeback to a full station chain!

I'm encouraged to see that Stuckey's hasn't died. It seemed that way for a while. My wife and I grew up on opposite sides of the country, but the one thing we had in common was road trips that included a stop at Stuckey's along the way. I hope to see more come back to life so our children same share that memory with us.

Stuckey brings such great memories. When I was young we went to Florida every year. Stuckey was a great part of the vacation. I always wanted some souvenir. I bought these rubbery type of animals. I got a hippo, mouse, and pig. I still have them on my dresser. I saw a monster one at an antique store for $3,000. Before I saw the price tag I wanted to get it to add to my collection. My husband suggested I sell mine. I told him they are a great childhood memory and they will not be sold. Thanks for the... Read more

Hi, when I was a young boy we moved to Florida. When we would take long road trips out of the state and region, we always new we were getting close to home when we saw the Stuckey's Billboards and stop in Georgia. (fast forward) I believe in comeback stories and I identify with it, and Stuckey's is a great American comeback story.

Oh the memories I have about stopping at a Stuckeys on a long road trip with my parents as a kid! I made sure to look for that iconic billboard on the highway. Stuckeys is a part of Americana and rightly so. I'm not sure what it was about stopping at one, but it was so cool! Of course, everyone remembers the pecan logs but I remember my mom buying me a souvenir or two from a Stuckeys one time. It was a small can that had a picture of cows on the side.

Thank you for the memories!!!... Collapse

Riding with my mom and sister is a fake wood-paneled Country Squire station wagon, my sister and I in those unsafe-as-heck fold-up seats that face each other in the back. Trips were from Texas to California in 1972 (Grand Canyon, Disneyland, Carlsbad Caverns) and a bunch up to Wisconsin and back to visit my mom’s parents. We would stop at Stuckey's and get pecan logs, travel bingo games, candy cigarettes, and those sheets of colorful candy dots stuck on paper. Oh, and the wax “soda bottle” candies. Wherever that Country Squire is today, I bet there are still bits of... Read more

In the early 70s, my parents ran a Stuckey's right off I-80 at the Atlantic, Iowa exit. We lived in an apartment in the back of the store. I still have pics of my parents in the store, as well as a Stuckey's Coffee Club mug and my own Stuckey's name tag (although I wasn't much help since I was only 2!) Even though I was young, I still remember a little bit of being there. Of course, my parents had plenty of stories, too - especially about our trip to GA to visit Mr. Stuckey.

My early memories of Stuckey’s was when I was 10-12 years old visiting the Stuckey’s store on Highway 98 in Panama City Beach Florida. The store was there for many years. It breaks my heart to know its now gone. My mother would purchase the Pecan Roll and my father Pecan Divinity. This Christmas I purchased a Pecan Divinity at a store in memory of my father. Keep producing those great candies Stuckey’s!

1969 was our family's first road trip to Florida. It was a great trip. The Serpentarium, Monkey Jungle, Parrot Jungle, Miami, Busch Gardens, Whiiki Wachii, Silver Springs... On our way home, we stopped at a Stuckey's Restaurant. My entire family sat at the counter to eat. The waitress/cook asked if we would like any dessert? I was the only one interested, and asked what the had? She asked if I ever had Pecan Pie? I said no, but I'd try it. It was delicious.

My choice for dessert (if available) has been Pecan Pie ever since. In fact I make Pecan Pies every Christmas, for family , and friends, from my own recipe. I had continued to make Stuckeys a stop when I would take my son on trip South. They stopped having Restaurants, and had only Pecan eatables stores for a long time. Now, stores are hard to find. But, Stuckey and their Pecan Pies, and candies, will always be my goto memories when thinking about roadtrips with my family. Thank you for that.... Collapse

We live in Oregon, my dad was from Iowa. Every year we took vacation to Iowa for 3 weeks, I really remember the years 1975-1985 or so. We would eat sandwhiches, a lot of home made popcorn, cold chicken, mom really got us ready and back then you ate out of a cooler traveling....except for breakfast. Breakfast was Stukey's! Bacon, eggs, toast it was always SO good, sometimes I got a coke which was rare, in a cute little coke glass (I'm still a coke drinker).

I have great memories of stopping at Stuckey’s on I-95 from NC to Fredericksburg VAin the early 70s. We traveled to Front Royal VA every other weekend in the Fall for my brothers’ football game. I loved the burgers! My favorite, though, was the Mint Cloud!
