I have such nice memories of traveling with my family as a kid in the south and stopping at Stuckey's. The souveniers were always neat and I especially remember the "State Plates" made out of black tin material. My Grandma collected them and I think eventually had about 35 states. Always nice to stop for a treat too. I still stop today when I see a Stuckey's.

Back in the late 1980's & early 1990's lived in South Alabama. Took I-10 number of times in Florida. Always stop at a Stuckey's Store. I-10 in Florida seems like a long boring interstate, took a lot breaks. Living back in Michigan, miss being in Florida and visiting a Stuckey's.

Loved the .99 cent breakfasts and pecan rolls when traveling across the country in a station wagon with no AC

I always remember when traveling with my parents as a child, when we stopped at a Stuckey's I knew I would get to share a pecan log with our family! Always a welcome site!!

My dad took me on some business trips with him in the 60's. I met Mr Stuckey in Eastman because my dad worked for Phillips Petroleum(66) and partnered with Stuckey's to sell fuel at some of their locations. Very nice man, betcha I got some free samples as well as a plant tour.

My husband Bill Posey was a fraternity brother of Bill Stuckey at University of Georgia in the 50’s. Bill would bring boxes of candy to the fraternity house for all to enjoy!

In the late 60's and early 70's we traveled back and forth between Indianapolis and Birmingham every summer to visit my grandparents in Alabama. Along the way Stuckey's was a regular stop for the peacan logs that my Mother loved. I've tried others but nothing comes close, still a fan.

I first learned about Stuckey's from a game (Sam & Max: Hit the Road) that featured a parody version of this gas station, by the name of Snuckey's. That game was what gave me my sense of dark humor. It even had the pecan candies that Stuckey's is famous for, too! So you can imagine my delight when I visited my first Stuckey's all these years later (about...oh...probably 3 years ago, and it's been approximately...14-15 years since I played the game?). I will forever cherish the fact I love Stuckey's all because of a silly game.

Dear Madam Stuckey, My earliest recollection of the Stuckey’s was a restaurant & Gas station in Drums, Pennsylvania. It was my 1st job, when I turned 14 years of age. I really miss the people that I worked for. I’m currently 65yoa and still working, but I’m in the Health Care Industry and just thought I’d send you regards from Pennsylvania.

My father and mother managed several Stuckey's when I was growing up. Started in Illinois and ended up in South Carolina. I have such fond memories. Of course, mom and dad put me and my sisters to work regularly. But we enjoyed it. Met lots of wonderful customers and learned a lot. Needless to say, we were pretty plump kids. Lol. Got to sample a lot of Stuckey's goodies.

Growing up, we would always take family vacations in the car and many times those were southern bound trips. I can remember so vividly stopping at Stuckey‘s and buying a souvenir or a mini pecan roll. Many of our trips were to Atlanta to see a Braves baseball game or to Florida to tour before and after the theme parks were there. Stuckey’s was always a part of our family vacation. I am so glad that Stuckey‘s will continue to be a part of today’s road trip! Thank you for preserving this wonderful brand!

Wow! I have quite a connection to Stuckey's as they were a very big part of my life. (Some of this is to the best of my recollection and may not be in the exact order.) My dad, as a carpenter and cabinet maker, was employed in the very early '60s for work on the Merkel. TX store. After working on stores in Big Spring and Strawn, TX, and with previous experience as a building contractor. he was hired as a building superintendent for Stuckey's and was assigned the Round Rock, TX store.

My dad, as a carpenter and cabinet maker, was employed in the very early '60s for work on the Merkel. TX store. After working on stores in Big Spring and Strawn, TX, and with previous experience as a building contractor. he was hired as a building superintendent for Stuckey's and was assigned the Round Rock, TX store. From there he built stores in Waxahachie and Monroe, LA and Monument, CO (I worked with him a short while on this one). Then I went with him in the summer of 1965 to build the Norlina, NC store. From there he went to Tonkawa, OK, Kearney, NE, Anthony, TX, Deming, NM, and Strasburg, CO. I went to work for him again on the Seibert, CO store in the spring of '68 and in the summer, we trekked to Kalamazoo, MI. I left there to go to NC for work and school, while he went on to Yuma, AZ. It was during construction at this store that he suffered a fatal heart attack in January of '69. I'll always remember working on the stores with him and setting them up and remaining through grand openings. Some may not know or have forgotten that, since these stores were built out away from major cities, they had really nice quarters in the rear where the store managers lived. Daddy always made sure "his" stores and these living spaces were done right and to exacting standards. Nothing but the best for Stuckey's. Although they no longer carry the Stuckey name, some of these buildings are still standing, including one just a few miles down I-35 from me.... Collapse
