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

When I was a kid we would drive from Washington state to Kentucky. We would stop at every stuckeys along the way. I would watch for the big billboards that said how many miles and then watch for the blue roof. Once there I always got a state or town pennant flag or a grab bag! They were such a surprise to open. Great memories! Oh and of course the candy❤️

It has been a very good experience doing business with the Stuckey's in Marietta Oklahoma. Sarah and Sadia are truly wonderful ladies and have been very helpful ever since my trailer was abandoned in the parking lot. I'm a truck driver and I will be coming back as often as possible.

I remember when we moved from Florida to Utah in 1976. We stopped at Stuckeys the whole way there!

I am thrilled that yet another generation is running the company. I worked for Stuckey's in the 1980's. I knew many of those locations and what a fine group of dedicated people operated them.

Back in the early seventies I use to play professional golf traveling by car across the country. Long drives were always greeted with usually a Texaco and Stuckeys where I filled up on gas, the best fried chicken and always a date milk shake. Made those long drives so much easier and the props were always friendly. Thanks for the memories!

I’m writing to brag about the Stuckey’s in Johnson City Illinois. It has to be the cleanest place to stop that I have ever been in. And under the circumstances our country is in, I feel they need some type of an award! Thank you to those who work it and run it and keep it spit spot for those of us who are at high risk for the Covid virus. You are greatly appreciated!

My entire childhood was filled with memories of Stuckey’s! Having been raised in Florida there was no way we could travel without stopping at one, even if it was a day trip to the beach. I love that place...especially the pecan logs!!

I have wonderful memories of my husband and I stopping at Stuckeys every time we headed to Georgia or Florida. Not only were we able to get great food but we found candy and snacks that we hadn’t seen since childhood.
