Loved going to Stuckey's when going on family trips growing up in Ohio. Loved the coal candy. Shame not in Ohio anymore.

Every vacation my family always stopped at Stuckey's. As a kid I thought it was the grandest place to visit. I don't travel anymore, but I still have those great memories of vacations with my family and stopping at Stuckey's.

"Thank goodness Stuckey's is still around - although I had no idea you were! I recall as a child, stopping at Stuckey's in several locations between Texas, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. We traveled from Texas and Arizona to Colorado each November for deer hunting; this was also one of our road trip vacations each year - I think from 1965-1976 or so. I remember seeing the road-side billboards declaring ""9 more miles to Stuckey's!"" or the like. Each sign caused more anticipation in the car - and it was an early teaching moment as well.

I remember seeing the road-side billboards declaring ""9 more miles to Stuckey's!"" or the like. Each sign caused more anticipation in the car - and it was an early teaching moment as well. When we'd finally get to Stuckey's, my Mama and I would hit the bathroom - whew! And after that, we'd walk up and down each aisle, looking at all the beautiful packaging of those sweet treats! I remember Mama saying 'We're only going to get divinity - I can't afford to buy it all!' Mama would share a heavenly bite with me - makes my mouth water thinking of it still. Back in the car we'd go, on to our next destination! Imagine my surprise as an adult, to see a Stuckey's near the New York/Ohio border in Pennsylvania! My husband and I lived in the Chicago area back in the 80s and 90s and we had traveled by car to a hockey camp in Sarnia, Ontario. Coming back through the States on our return to Chicago, we stumbled upon a Stuckey's and stopped. This was around 1992 I think - I was then 32, and had children aged 9, 5 and 2. This Stuckey's had a DQ grill inside and they were open - at 630am!!! We stopped and relived my childhood while we had breakfast. This time I was able to buy both divinity AND a pecan log roll for my husband. Thank you for your persistence in bringing Stuckey's back. As I look toward retirement, my plans are to return to the southwest United States. I hope to find a Stuckey's there someday - after all, Stuckey's is a part of my fond memories of childhood. Thank you!"... Collapse

My last trip to Stuckey's, I was 11 years old. My family, Mama, Dad, 3 brothers and two sisters all went inside where it was nice and cool. Me? Stayed outside chasing lizards. Before I knew it, the family was coming out! We were leaving! We all piled into our Matador Station wagon, I was feeling rather upset and disappointed. We're driving down the road, up the on ramp, back on the freeway. It is a long way to the next Stuckey's. Then Mama pulls out a chocolate shake....FOR ME! All is good in the world! I am 57 now...we... Read more

For years, there was a Stuckey's on I-81 in Cortland, NY (between Binghamton and Syracuse). Used to love stopping there for pecan rolls! Building is still there, but it's now a Pit Stop Stravel Plaza.

While traveling from Myrtle Beach where we had the Bonaparte family reunion we stopped at Stuckey's. We loaded up on fruit, nuts, candy, seasonings and barbecue sauces. Everyone in the car found something to satisfy themselves. Now I see I can order on line. How great is this. I don't have to wait for a family trip down south to get Stuckey's

"So happy to see these still exist! As a kid in the 70s, we'd always go into Stuckeys with the vinyl imprint of my parent's car sticking to our sweaty legs. Any kid who when on a road trip begged to go to Stuckey's. It defied those needless boundaries of race, color, nationality, class, nuclear family, single mom...DIDNT MATTER. We all would run up to the door when we parked and saw so many other kids do the same. A stop off at Stuckey's and then the hotel swimming pool if we were good a few hours down the road....

We always stopped at Stuckey's on our way to Florida every year when I was a child. My mother was from Eastman and was good friends with The Stuckey's son. She has passed away and Im trying to find out more about the family. W. Stuckey's should be about 75 years old. If possible can you contact him and let him know that Emma's granddaughter is trying to contact him. You have my e-mail and I can be contacted through there. I would truly appreciate any help I can get! Thank you Yvette

My fiance bought me some sandals because my feet were roasting from the trip home from Kemah. I fell in love with the sandals because they looked like a Native American design.
