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 was first introduced to Stuckey’s in the late 60’s and/or early 70’s. I remember my dad and I would travel South on I-75 from Chicago, IL to Orlando, Florida on our way to WDW at Christmas time during the break from school and I remember all the Blue roofs. We would stop and get a bite to eat and Candy of course. I Still Love Stuckey’s today and since there aren’t any near me I order Pecan Log Rolls online. I’m glad Stuckey’s is making a come back!

My parents, brother, and I loved to stop at Stuckey's when we would travel from Calif. to Albuquerque, NM via Route 66 which is now I-40 on our yearly trip. My brother and I would get so excited. As we grew older we knew the locations of the Stuckey's, and my dad would have to stop. We loved the pecan rolls, and any other pecan caramel candy. My daughter was born in 1975.

So happy they were still around when my daughter was little so that she could experience the happiness that Stuckey's brought to everyone that stopped!! Wished there were more Stuckey's.... Collapse

I remember the first stop at a Stuckey's along the east coast. The Mynah bird greeted me. I wasn't older than 10 years old & the Mynah bird was total entertainment fo me. Of course, the rest of the store was quite the stop for this young kid. Mom & dad picked up some lunch, snacks & fueled the car and we were on our way. I'm sure the Mynah bird never forgot me!

I just remember our drives back and forth between Arizona California back in the 70’s and 80’s and those blue roof buildings along the I10. It brings back suck great memories, a time of America and just good place. My sister and I would beg our parents for candy. To me Stuckey’s is America like apple pie.

My husband and I worked for Stuckeys in 1969 & 1970. We trained in Tyler, Texas and would go to the different stores and relieve the managers so they could go on vacation. Or if they needed an interim manager until one was hired, which we trained as well. It was fun, we traveled a lot - Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas- and learned a lot about running a business. Best of all we met so many nice people (customers) and made some good friends as well. I sure wouldn't trade the time or experience for anything. Stuckeys will always be a... Read more

We were lucky we had a Stuckey's in our town, Wrens, Ga on Hwy #1 about 30 miles south of Augusta, Ga. Almost every Sunday afternoon we would go to Stuckey and I would get a chocolate milk shake, watch the dunking bird drink water from the cup, watch the “Wheel O” display and take home a pecan “pee-can” log roll. Great memories.

I remember as a child , on our return trips from Texas, our family would always stop at Stuckey’s near Benton,AR to eat, rest, get candy, gas, etc. I always looked forward to it. Fun times and good memories. This was in the late 1960s and early 70s.

In 1972, I worked the summer at the Stuckey's in Sun Valley, AZ along Route 66 / I-40. I worked for great co-managers and served great customers. Lot's of fun memories and got hooked on Pecan Logrolls - LOL. Just received my latest order of Logrolls.

I was riding down memory lane the other day and thought of Stuckey's on Route 66 near Litchfield, IL. My father was transferred from Chicago area to St. Louis, and we regularly traveled north in the 60s to visit our ancestral home in West Dundee, IL and relatives. First stop on the way was Stuckey's - ostensibly to let the beagle Butch fertilize and water the Stuckey's grass. But then came the eats: a burger (doggie got one, too) and a Coke and, of course, a pecan log. Sad: Stuckey's went the way of many businesses when I-55 made 66... Read more

But I remember stopping in my VW with co-pilot basset hound Jake who carried on the beagle's legacy. I was so pleasantly surprised to find out Stuckey's is still in business. I emailed customer service and got a reply from Stephanie Stuckey herself. Googled name: what an interesting bio. Who knew?- as they say I will be placing an order soon for some Stuckey's eats. As Bob Hope sang, "Thanks for the Memories".... Collapse

What good Stuckey’s story doesn’t include a pecan log roll? Road trips with my dad in the ‘’70’s from Atlanta to Greenville, SC and other southern points gave me ample times to grab some of that sweet goodness along with a glass bottle Coke. Nothing better. Absolutely nothing.

Our family always went camping in the summers. The biggest adventure was traveling from New Jersey to California. Each of us had our own chores with setting up and breaking camp each day. Any time we saw a Stuckey's, we stopped for a break and food. One time we got the car stuck in some mud in the parking lot. Our family joke is that we got stuck at Stuckey’s.

Every summer we’d drive from Colorado to Kansas City to visit relatives. The best part of the 600 plus mile drive with my two brothers was looking for the Stuckey’s signs on I-70 and begging my parents to stop. I remember looking at all the candy and souvenirs. I loved Stuckey’s!

Stuckey's was always an oasis while traveling as I grew up. I sure hope the present day Stuckey's expand into the west coast, including Oregon. Bring back the traveler's oasis!
