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.

My Dad used to sell insurance to Mr. Stuckey back in the 40's or 50's and he used to tell me how nice he was and he would bring some pecan rolls home and sometime we get some for Christmas !! Always loved stopping at a Stuckey's store on the way to Florida to see our kin.. God Bless and Merry Christmas

We used to drive to Scottsboro AL from Chicago area every summer, leaving super early in the morning,,, I can remember we would always stop at Stuckeys on RT 41 near Terre Haute IN to have 99 cent breakfast but my sister hated eggs so she would order a hot dog and fries. The silly little things that mean so much to us now...

Stopped at these stores all over the USA. When I was a kid it just wasn't vacation until we had loaded up on delicious pecan products and souvenirs. Put one in New Mexico. Like maybe outside Santa Fe....

"This is a follow on to Robert's comment on the Stuckey's message display system. My recollection of using it was in the summer of 1967. We were traveling from Ohio to Colorado to vacation at a Dude Ranch. My father sent a message to his brother, who had left a day after us, we did get his response later that day. I was 10 at the time. It's also probably worth mentioning that my father and uncle are Engineers. So of course they were intrigued."

travelling witth my grandparents in 1967 from British Columbia down the West Coast through Wash-ington, Oregon, California to Arizona. We tried to always stop at a Stuckeys to get unusual local souveniers and the AWESOME Pecan Rolls at every stop! I was so heartbroken when Stuckeys disappeared from the West Coast!!

My favorite memory of Stuckey's is when our family would drive from southern California to Chicago via Route 66. We would make our Dad stop at every Stuckey's along the way. My favorite picture is of my brothers and sister in front of Stuckey's at the Continental Divide in New Mexico.

"My father is now retired military. As a youngster we were constantly traveling across this country for family and military reasons. There were 4 of us kids packed into our car. Stuckey's was like a savior to us kids! We would always stop at Stuckey's! We welcomed being able to get out, stretch our legs and take a break from traveling and eat some good grub and Stuckey's treats! Us kids were allowed to buy little mementos as well!

I didn't stop but here in 2016 I did, both going and coming home! I loved it! So welcoming. The food smelled great and I wish I could've had time to stop and eat!"... Collapse

In Michigan, thee were any number of these we would go by on our way up north. We would be in a campground, while dad and his friend tried to catch fish. On the way home, we passed by Stuckey's again. We knew better than to ask twice to stop at the places other kid's parents stopped at coming from up north. Ergo, I never set foot in one. Never tasted the candy. We were only allowed the fish dad and his friend caught to have to eat on vacation. My childhood sucked. I would love to try one of... Read more

Every year our family took a vacation to Florida. We would always stop at Stuckey's to fill up and to get our favorite candy the pecan divinity. My mom just loved the candy and after she let us try it we loved it too. Back then candy was a real treat and something we really only had on vacation. Even to this day my sister and I always reminisce about this part of our childhood! It is funny how the taste of that candy can bring back such good memories.

Back in the 70s, I was traveling across Illinois and drove into a serious thunderstorm. I stopped off at a Stuckey's for a hot dog, and was one of a half dozen customers in the store. The wind picked up outside, and the staff asked us to go into the back room with them and away from the windows because of the weather. The storm passed overhead and shook the windows violently, but they held on. A few minutes later, the worst of the storm passed, so we all emerged from the back room, a little worried, but all safe.... Read more
