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.

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. From there he built stores in Waxahachie... Read more

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

Just saw on Linked in that the Stuckey brand is being revived. Very cool. Grew up outside Detroit and going up north as a kid stopping at Stuckeys was the treat of treats! Also, going to Port Huron there was one at the Wadhams Road exit. Fast forward 30 yrs later and in 2002 I built a Mobil Truck Stop at that same exit. Loves just opened last year on the other side of the express way. As of last year at least (2019) I think the old Stuckeys building is still hiding in the weeds. What memories!

We traveled to my grandmother's all the time and always stopped at Stuckeys. My brother and I always had to buy some candy. We drove from Louisville, KY to Springfield TN which was quite a drive on two lane roads back then. Very fond memories of a great store.

Our family traveled around the country a lot in the 70s on camping adventures. I remember making sure my sisters and I let dad know how far Stuckey's was when we saw a billboard. Dad loved the peanut brittle we were doing it for him.

I really miss the chocolate candy sold in your stores back in the 60's and 70's. It was so much better than that pre-packaged stuff everyone sells today. I have diabetes and the local Stuckey's stores were the only place I could find any artificially sweetened candy that was actually good.

Waters, MI Location. We used to walk through the Woods from Heart Lake (between Big Bradford & Otsego Lake), as 8, 9 & 10 year olds to make our way out to busy I-75, to the Stickey’s for candy. We loved the Taffy. We would come in from beside the store to avoid the cars. Crazy our Parents just said be careful. Then walk back to the dock on crystal clear Heart Lake, sit down and catch a sunset with our trasured candy. Simple life.

I ordered some of all the oldies we ate as children so I could share with my Grandchildren. It was fun and they loved it. Thanks for the opportunity to share old memories.
