When I was little we would go on vacation and always stop coming and going. We always got spice pecans, a box of 3 different divinties. My brother and I got just plain candy. We also got pecan logs and lots of other things. The only regret I had growing up was that we didn't go on vacations anymore to be able to come visit your stores. We would go to California and was unhappy you weren't out that far. This was in the 50's and 60's. I'm close to 70 now and still miss stopping at your stores.

The last time I had the privilege of visiting a Stuckey's was while visiting my boyfriend who was stationed at Cannon AFB in Clovis NM in 1988. I stopped almost every time I visited. After we were married in 1988 and both living in Clovis, the Stuckey's closed. I still.have the fondest memories of buying my own local gifts for family & friends and taking family & friends who visited on their way to or from Lubbock or Amarillo to catch flights home.

In 1970, my first job was pumping gas and washing windshields for traveling customers at a Stuckey's on Route 66 in Doolittle, Missouri. The experience was enjoyable and I got to meet some very interesting people. To this day, I always try to stop at a Stuckey's and enjoy eating a pecan roll.

My parents did training in Baker California and got their first store in Williams AZ and then we were off to Yuma AZ. They worked so hard and long hours but they liked it. My brother and sisters also worked in Stuckeys. My little brother and I were too young to help out. It was a time in my life that I will always remember. I have been on the prowl for the picture I know we have with my Mom in uniform and I believe my brother too.

When I was young, my folks would go on vacation each summer. After we stopped at a Stuckey's We could not pass another one on our road trip to anywhere! I have many fond memories of those times.

Every summer we drove from Denver to McAlester, OK to visit my grandparents. Hours and hours in a compact car with 4 people is not fun especially with no a/c. I can remember coming over a hill and seeing that blue roof. We always begged to stop and sometimes my dad would be gracious enough to do so. I say gracious because it was usually about 17 hours to drive and the only stops were for gas and bathrooms. We packed food. Anyway, I've always remembered seeing the pralines and jumping beans. FINALLY one year my mom bought me the... Read more

Not your usual Stuckey's story. As a young boy my father would take is kids every summer to Grandma's in Oklahoma City from San Antonio. My father was the type of driver that was all about minimum stops, definite 'get-thereitis'. But I always remember the Stuckey's signs. It was a comfort, of a sort, to see the land mark signs. A way us kids could track our progress up IH 35. I always imagined Stuckey's as some kind of mythological oasis if only dad would decide to stop in! HaHa. It's heartening to know there are still Stuckey's store around.... Read more

Maybe one day, when I'm a grandpa, i can take a road trip and actually stop in with the grandkids and tell them about the magical stop that had pecan logs! Like I said not your usual Stuckey's story...... Collapse

My first job was at Stuckey's in Centerville, Indiana along I-70. I was 14 years old and I worked there for almost 4 years. I loved it and it taught me a lot of responsibility. To this day I can count back change without having to put the amount in the register for it to tell me what the change should be. Stuckey's has gone through many changes, but it is still located in Centerville along I-70.

Years of traveling in a camper with our 3 kids, during the 60's, we would try to pass by a Stuckey's but no way. Everyone wanted some kind of candy. My husband and I preferred the best Pecan Log ever. The kids would get their favorite. Off we would go until another Stuckey's appeared. Living in Charleston, SC they are not easy to find, but what a great online service. Just sent my son in MT a big box of Pecan Logs.

"I grew up in Trenton, GA and every summer we'd travel and Stuckeys was always a high point to our trips. I am retired USAF now and live in Colorado and no Stuckeys here. We travel south about once a year and still love Stuckeys!!"

Stuckeys was always a part of or family trips. From about 1960 till all the Stuckeys in the southwest were gone, we always got excited to see that familiar blue roof and bright sign that meant as much as (and sometimes more than) the destination. How sad it was to see the last one vanish into our memories, turned into a mexican restaurant or just fall into disrepair like a ghost town saloon. Please bring at least one store back to the southwest...maybe along the I-15?

In 1969 and again in 1973 -2 parents , 1 dog , and 6 kids left long island and drove across America without a/c or video games - we visited all of the 48 lower states over those 2 trips .Stuckeys was a beacon of light during those long drives. I think we stopped at everyone we passed..So many good memories of simpler times.

I grew up in NJ, while my grandparents lived in OR. We spent many summers on the road, driving to visit them. Stuckey's was our favorite pitstop.
