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 still, at 53 eat bacon, eggs, toast when I go out and drink... Read more

I had this cool husky once that was multi colored fur over a plastic body, I had it forever. Great childhood memories 💜... Collapse

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!

When we were kids, we would go to Denver for a special day. Museum or zoo, amusement park, Casa Bonita restaurant. All that was great but, we always stopped at Stuckys just north of Colorado Springs. Remember the fun going there, the lines of pecan rolls and trinkets was great. My personal favorite was the vending machine by the restrooms that held a compass in a tire, little Indian knife in a sheath. 2 little dogs with magnets in the...best of times. Thank you Mr Stucky.

When on vacation as a child, we always stopped at Stuckey's to eat. I collected different breeds of horses from the selection of plastic models and ate the rock candy on the stick and prickly pear cactus candy. I didn't even know they still existed until I saw a billboard sign for one in Oklahoma a few days ago.

I took my first trip to Florida in 1970 and I remember as soon as we came to Virginia on rt 301 we started to see Stuckeys and Horne's. We stopped at alot of them on that trip. It is sad to see there is not many left.

I used to work at Stuckey’s near Tipton, Iowa when I was in high school in the early ‘70’s. I loved it. We had a small snack bar and we made our own sandwiches etc. We also got to cut up the samples of candy for the shoppers. Met a lot of nice people working there and was nice to visit the travelers from other states. After that when ever I traveled I would always look for the Stuckey’s signs along the interstate so we could stop there.

When I was twenty two back in 1970 I took a lone bicycle rode from Florida to New York using route 301 which paralleled the new I-95. I even got a warning ticket, not for riding on I-95 but for ASKING if I could use the new empty I-95. I stopped at every Horne's and Stuckey's for their coconut drinks on that eleven day trip. When in Georgia, I was warned I was going to be robbed and therefore peddled till dark to get away. I traveled 200 miles that one day. I remain a dedicated fan of Horne's and... Read more

When I was young in the early 1980’s, my family took a trip across the country from WV to California to visit my uncle. We stopped several times a day at a Stuckey’s. I remember loving to go in the store to look at all he goodies they had. It became a family tradition that we stop at Stuckey’s whenever we see one.

Back in the mid 60’s and early 70’s our family would drive from Sumter, SC through Summerton, SC to vacation “at the lake” of Santee Cooper where our Granddad had a house for all the family to use. We would always ask dad to stop at Stuckey’s in Summerton and begged for a pecan log. With 5 kids in the family sharing the log was normal practice. We would be sure to finish it before we arrived at the lake house. If my memory serves me correct, Stuckey’s was on the corner of Hwy 15 and Hwy 301 and not... Read more

I love to see the post Stephanie does on LinkedIn. Keep up the Stuckey’s revival!... Collapse

I made many trips to the local Stuckey’s Pecan Shoppe and Stuckey’s Carriage Inn in Altamont, Il as a youngster only to find myself coming back as their electrician and maintenance service from the 70’s through the 90’s. When the original owner (Dave Coslet) decided to sell - it was bittersweet as I had always hoped to be able to buy it - keep the Stuckey’s products and be a home town general store with antiques, collectibles and of course the Stuckey’s line of candies.

I now own a quaint downtown antique store along with being an auctioneer and hope that I will be able to meet up with Stephanie at some point to discuss my dreams that would include the Stuckey’s line of products at my store. I have stopped at a Stuckey’s or two on my way to Arkansas and their presentation of the product leaves something to be desired and most certainly see my place as a popular destination as I know many people in our area along with travelers along interstate 70 would drop by to see us. Hope to hear or see you soon Stephanie - Terry... Collapse

Great memories. Billboards along Rt. 17 & Rt. 1. Driving from NYC to Miami was so boring except for the Stuckey signs. Are the signs still there? I think we saw Horns & South of the Border signs as well. By the 70s, we flew instead but the signs will forever be in my heart & soul. Great food as well.
