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!

My favorite thing about visiting my great aunt Lolly in Kilmarnock Virginia was the stop at Stuckey's along I-95. Oh how I loved to see that blue roof calling to me! Every time we stopped I would get another magic trick - I ended up with quite a collection - and I still remember the set of white and black "scotty dog" magnets my dad bought me there. Although I was never a pecan lover, I did love those great burgers and dogs. Stuckey's will forever be one of my very best memories from my childhood, and I'm so happy... Read more

Hi, we remember stopping at Stuckys on I-80 from Sacramento, CA to our destination, Tennessee in 1975. We would stop at Stuckeys on this road trip. My husband always ordered King of the Road hamburger. It was a great stopping point to rest, relax and get some food. We have fond memories of the trip.

Read Eastman had more Cadillacs per capita due to number of its citizens owning Stuckey Stations. We owned two.

Always stopped at Stuckey’s on trips down to see my grandmother in Arkansas that was 70 years ago and still remember stopping for a pecan roll. Glad to see that Stuckey’s are still around!

Traveling as a child, my brother, sister , and I measured the miles on vacation as the distance between Stuckey’s stores. Divinity and pecan rolls were a favorite.

I grew up in Eastman, GA in the 1980s so the heyday of Stuckey's had passed but I certainly knew about the company and the Stuckey's family. I remember my grandmother, who had moved to Florida, coming up to visit us one December probably in the late 1980s. They were having a pop-up style sale of candy at the original location that she wanted to go to. We bought tons of candy and I remember helping her put it all in gift bags to take to her old Eastman friends while she was in town. I honestly didn't realize the... Read more

I grew up in Eastman, GA in the 1980s so the heyday of Stuckey's had passed but I certainly knew about the company and the Stuckey's family. I remember my grandmother, who had moved to Florida, coming up to visit us one December probably in the late 1980s. They were having a pop-up style sale of candy at the original location that she wanted to go to. We bought tons of candy and I remember helping her put it all in gift bags to take to her old Eastman friends while she was in town. I honestly didn't realize the national significance and nostalgic impact the roadside restaurants had on people until I actually moved AWAY from Eastman and would tell people where I was from. "Oh yeah, Eastman is the home of Stuckey's isn't it?" Or if people don't know where Eastman is, I will often say "Do you remember Stuckey's stores? That's where the company started." And they then people will tell me a memory of stopping at Stuckey's on road trips. When I met my then-boyfriend's parents for the first time in 2006, my now father-in-law told that he worked on Stuckey's advertising campaigns in the 1970s and 80s. He had been to Eastman many times during those years and we bonded over that! He claims to have written the famous "Eat Here, Get Gas" slogan. (Not sure if he really did!) But I hope he likes the t-shirt I just bought him for Christmas that says that!... Collapse

In the 1960's and 70's my family and i would drive back from lake tahoe on hwy 80 near Sacramento. There was a stuckeys there, it was the highlight of a long boring ride. Loved the candy and toys. The building is still there, always think they should put a stuckeys back in there
