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.

Growing up a Stuckey it was so very special going to a Stuckey's. Always got something to eat and wear. Sweet sweet memories! Came across one in Decatur, TX when we moved to Texas. Then just this year in Marietta,OK. When I was a kiddo I showed my photo ID and got a lil treat for being a Stuckey.

I have many good memories of Stuckey's from my childhood. My parents believed in traveling and my family and I have seen a lot of this great country via road trips. I think one of the main ways to have an American experience is by doing road trips. I always loved when we stopped at Stuckey's: the food items (pecans, drinks, etc..) the other misc items that kids loved such as the monster stickers (Universal monsters: Frankenstein, Wolf man, etc..) that my brother and I collected.

"My mom managed a stuckys in Waxahachie Texas back in 1979. It was fun living in the back of the store. When I woke up I always had breakfast made for me. We would occasionally see big tour buses come through with musicians. You never knew who was going to stop in. Unfortunately there was a motorcycle gang that came through one night and tried to break in. It was scary and my mom didn't feel it was safe for us so she had to resign.

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!

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
