As a family I remember many vacation trips by car from Illinois and a stop at Stuckey's was always included. Now I have a family of my own, and have since moved to North Carolina. It is a thrill to share Stuckey's with my kids. I travel for work on occasion, and my kids look forward to when I stop at a Stuckey's on the road and bring home a treat. Stores have changed from the stand alone stores I remember. Those are hard to find, but the Stuckey's name is still going strong in my household.

My dad was a Navy career man. So, our family spent a lot of time traveling to naval duty stations for his new assignments. We also spent many days/night on the road traveling to my grandparents farm whenever my dad could get leave (vacation). My best memories as a kid are stopping at Stuckey's during these road trips. I later joined the military myself. I try to stop at Stuckey's during my travels.

My family would travel from San Leandro, CA to Marysville, MI during the summer in the 70's and 80's.... Those long hot trips along Highway 80 brought us much joy when we would run across a Stuckey's. Thank you for making our trips that much sweeter with those delicious pecan-rolls!!!! And for making wonderful family memories!!

I grew up a Stuckeys brat! My parents got sent from store to store to fix them back up after bad managers and then would move on to the next store. My parents ran them in North Carolina, Missouri, Indiana, Texas, Ok, Kansas, Alabama, Georgia and Ohio. They ran them from the early 80's until about 2008. It was hard always moving around as a kid but there was always Ice Cream and snacks at our destination! Spoiled brats we was.

Stopping at Stuckeys was always a highlight of the trip across Kansas. There was even a Stuckeys with a live beehive you could see inside of.

The first five years of my life were spent living in the 2nd floor apartment of Stuckey's in Sanford, NC. Having recently turned 60 years of age, I am glad to have found that store in your gallery.

As a kid I remember seeing Stuckys stores, while we were headed down I-75, & just thought of them, and looked them up....they're still around!

The one located outside Gulfport MS was awful! The service is very rude and I hope it gets fixed because it is at a great location.

"Stuckey's treats are cherished childhood memories for my brother and me so when I found out recently that he was planning to have bariatric surgery, I ordered a supply of pecan logs for him to enjoy before he started his weight loss regimen. I'm glad I did. It brought back many loving memories of a time gone by. Bring back the roadside Stuckey's with their affordable prices, friendly service and unbeatable quality! Put those signs back up; they were reassuring beacons for hungry, weary travellers! Also, if anyone is wondering, Stuckey's won't spam your inbox with ads."

I worked at Stuckey's in Goodfield, IL my sophomore through senior years in 1975-1977. It was a mile down the road from me so I loved the convenience of it since I could ride my bike too. I will admit I spent my part of my check there for some great gifts and pecan logs. The chuck wagon sandwich was my favorite. I started in the snack bar so I met a lot of great people driving through. I served a lot of local people too for they had great food and true hand dipped shakes and malts. I also... Read more

I will admit I spent my part of my check there for some great gifts and pecan logs. The chuck wagon sandwich was my favorite. I started in the snack bar so I met a lot of great people driving through. I served a lot of local people too for they had great food and true hand dipped shakes and malts. I also worked the the front counter and pumped gas and checked oil. We had several famous tour buses come through. The one I will never forget is when Hank Williams Js bus stopped in. I first waited on his bus crew cooking their food. To this day I still have the $15 total I received from tips. Then I got invited to the bus. There he sat toward the back in his underwear with a bottle between his legs. Seeing him sitting in his underwear was a shock for a young girl let me tell you. He was so nice and genuinely sincere when he said it was nice talking to you. I miss Stuckey's. If there was one around the Peoria, IL area I would definitely be a regular. Who knows I may even even apply-lol. I love and miss that place. I'm excited I can order on line now.... Collapse

I grew up going to the Stuckey's in Springfield, Ohio. I liked it so well that I married a Stuckey! His family stories include a history branching from the Stuckey store history. As we travel we keep a lookout for the stores and pick up memorabilia. We collect Tshirts. I just made a pillow from a shirt I purchased 38 years ago when we were dating!! Enjoy this website.

Loved looking for the Stuckey's signs when I was a kid. Wish they were still around. Sadly none by me anymore. I love the honey cinnamon pecans. Just ordered some last week. Friendly and super fast! Love the free shipping!.
