When My brother and I were growing up, our parents would take us on a road trip from Washington state to Louisville Ky. We could not wait to see a Stuckey sign and my parents would always stop and we would get to pick out a souvenir. Its where I bought my first packet of sea monkeys! Im glad yo know there are still some around and I am adding that to my bucket list for next summer!

I grew up in Eastman, GA and Stuckeys was a part of our lives. From family and friends working at the plant and store to attending elementary and high school with some of the Stuckey family members. One of my favorite memories is playing summer baseball for the Stuckeys little league team. As kids we were so proud to wear that yellow hat with red letter s and the yellow baseball jersey with Stuckeys in red letters on the front. Now at 48 I am always glad to see a Stuckeys roadside store or candy display as it reminds me... Read more

I love Stuckeys. I remember traveling cross the country in the South and North as a kid. It brings back a certain Nostalgia. Visited one in Bagdad Florida going home to visit my family in New Orleans in 2014. I love and always will love Stuckeys.

We grew up with Stuckeys as we traveled across the country on our family vacations. Was a favorite stop to get snacks, refresh ourselves and get a souvenir!

"My first 'memory' of a Stuckey's is from1954 in Eastman. It was August, I'd just turned 4 and Daddy said he had a 'treat' for me. I remember my first Stuckey's log roll like it was yesterday. There was nothing else like 'em anywhere. There still isn't. As good and as unique as a Nu-Way wiener on Cotton Avenue in Macon. After seeing (and hearing) how much we enjoyed them Mama started making her own divinity, which was excellent - but there was something special about ""Stuckey's"" and we stopped there every year going and coming home.

We started traveling from our home in Warner Robins to New Smyrna Beach, FL that year and went annually from '54 until around 1963 visiting lots of places in Florida, the last year I remember us taking a trip of any type as a 'family' with everyone present. I met a really cute Eastman girl when our Rumble Jr. High 8th grade basketball team traveled to Eastman for a game, she was an Eastman cheerleader, also an 8th grader and she told me she 'helped out' at Stuckey's. I don't remember her name but she was pretty. I don't remember Stuckey's ever having any employees that young, either ... and I have no idea what she did for you there. I was very happy when your family reclaimed the chain and I'm delighted with your revival and expansion. Texas and South Carolina pecans are excellent - but Middle Georgia grows the best pecans and the best peaches in America. There's something really special about that land between the Ocmulgee River and Gum Swamp. Great good luck to you going forward! Long live Stuckey's!"... Collapse

I was a military brat in the 60s and 70s and I remember everywhere we travelled we would stop at rest areas for bologna sandwiches. I remember the car was hot, travelling in summertime for hours where you didn't see much. But the stuckeys restaurants always stood out and when we stopped I would get a pecan role. We didn't dine there because my dad was on a limited income with 5 kids but I always remember stuckeys for gas, restrooms and pecan rolls. Just recently (2016) travelling through nevada and California I saw a lot of old stucky buildings... Read more

"Through the 60's and 70's we always loved stopping at the Stuckey's in Waters, Michigan on the car drive from Bay City to Mullett Lake. Many fond memories! We were so sorry to see it go years ago."

So many years driving hundreds of miles to my grandparents' places, and so many stops at our favorite Stuckeys too! My dad used to stop there, and he hated to stop at all because he liked to drive straight through for 18 hours. He once made us all use soda bottles to pee in, but that's another story for another time (the bottles were glass back then with such a tiny opening!). He used to stop there and we'd get everyone fed for something like 15 bucks. We always picked up a Pecan Log because grandma loved them so much.... Read more

He used to stop there and we'd get everyone fed for something like 15 bucks. We always picked up a Pecan Log because grandma loved them so much. It was the first thing she would ask us when we showed up - usually in the middle of the night because we rarely stopped for anything. She would ask: "where's my Stuckey's nut log?" And it was always me who would hand it to her. I was always so sleepy. After dad went to bed and my sister and I unpacked the car, we would stay up til morning savoring Stuckey's nuts until we couldn't stay awake anymore. I miss Stuckey's very much as I rarely see them on the highway anymore. I'm so glad I found the online store so I can buy Pecan Logs in bulk. I never get tired of those Stuckey's Logs.... Collapse

We used to have them on I 15 in California in the 60's and 70's. Then they closed them all down and left the state. Loved their Pecan Logs!!!

We traveled a lot when I was a kid in the 1950s between Michigan and Tennessee. I don't know where the Stuckey's was located that I remember, but they had a huge glass wall on the inside of the building and there behind the glass was the most interesting bee hive I had ever seen!

I remember every time we went on a trip we stopped at a stuckeys. I was at home in the 60's and I am looking for some of that luscious candy now! We had a store about half hour away but they closed years ago. Keep the web site open!

Somewhere in the early 80's my friend Trevor's mother would up managing a Stucky's outside of Van Horn Tx. One summer i went out there to work for them. What wonderful memories I have of all the people that were on the road traveling and the local regulars that would come by for a shake and a bugger. Even though we were not in town, it did not feel like we were. Everyone stopped by with a smile on their face. It was my first work experience away from home and such great fun.

I still remember meeting this family from St Ingbert Germany. The thing about that is that is the same small town my grandmother is from. What a small world it is, even before the internet was around. I've look on google earth for that great little store in the middle of nowhere. But just can't find it. In my mind, it's still out there, somewhere and always will be. Hey Trevor hows radar. :) Hope life has been good to you.... Collapse

"Our family used to take yearly road trips from Iowa to Florida during the Christmas school break. My little brother and I kept our eyes peeled for Stuckey's billboards, and that's when the begging would begin! ""Dad, can we stop at Stuckey's? Pleeeease?"" Though my dad was a ""drive on through, stop for nothin'"" kind of guy, we'd eventually wear him down (my mother helped a little) and oh boy, then the happy countdown of miles began!
