I grew up in Texas in the 50s and 60s. We took family road trips nearly every year, and my brothers and I would always want to stop when we saw that iconic, turquoise blue roof of Stuckey's. I always wanted the pecan log roll. After joining the Navy in 71, my mom would always buy one for me when she was on road trips. It was euphoric to receive that log roll in a care package from home. I never returned to Texas except for short visits and can remember the last time I stopped at a Stuckey's, but... Read more

I have many Stuckey's memories and stories! In 1972, I started working at Stuckey's on Interstate 80 in Peru, Illinois, when I was fourteen. My starting pay was $1.40 an hour. I worked there until I enlisted in the Marine Corps. As a gas pump attendant, I washed windshields, checked oil, pumped gas, cleaned restrooms, and unloaded trucks. We had twelve pumps. I learned a lot. The real rewards for me went far beyond the $1.40 an hour. The experiences from my job at Stucky's often come to mind. Thank you, Stuckey's.

Without that job, I would not have been able to keep my 1957 Chevy on the road. And, I would not know what to do when a couple of hundred outlaw motorcycle club riders pull in and start pumping their own gas. I learned what to do in that situation at the age of fourteen. It gave me a new level of confidence. And Moxy...I am grateful for it all, the customers, coworkers, and even the ten-mile rides on my ten-speed Schwinn getting to and from work.... Collapse

When I was young I loved to watch the dunking birds. I have one now that I used once or twice a year. I am fairly sure this store was on Hwy 190 West of Baton Rouge, LA Of course we all enjoyed shopping and milk shakes and hamburgers too.

As a kid, roadtrips were so memorable. Playing games and counting the 18 wheelers. My little cousin Bobby could tell you which Make the truck was even when you could barely see it from far away! Laying up in the back window ledge (sorry to tell that one, parents! lol). And the times we ever got to stop at a Stuckeys just elevated the fun. We would explore the store like it was some kind of museum. Which it really was a “roadtrip museum “, now that you look back on it. Anytime I go thru central AL I have... Read more

Anytime I go thru central AL I have to stop at the Hayden Stuckey’s. It’s only a remnant of what they used to be, but still good to see the sign and to go there. Good memories of old times. Hope to see Stuckeys continue on however it can!... Collapse

WOW, many Stories can be told, after Decades of seeing Stuckey's along the Interstate...it was like an Automatic Visit. Mostly East of THE Mississippi, while FL or PA bound from Chicago. Miss seeing them I do, but at least THE Brand still exists thanks to Stephanie. My fascination with that Brand is still Strong and I, just Order some Online now instead of driving to Dallas to find a Store. Thanks for keeping em in production. 😉

My favorite memory of Stuckey’s was stopping on long road trips out west. As a small child in the early to mid 1970’s, we would stop there to use the restroom and get some candy, usually pecan divinity! My parents would let me get something from the vending machine by the bathrooms. My favorite of all the things I got from that machine was the magnetic black and white kissing Scottie dogs! I think about that often and it reminds me of happy times!!

How am I just now discovering this brand and I'm leaning towards the age of 40? My grandparents always ate peanut brittle but it did not appeal to me when I was a child. Now I love it. I recently tried this brand's peanut brittle at Rural King and it was instant love. The flavors are so rich and delicious. I could not find it in bulk online and made the mistake of getting a tub of some from my Sam's Club (a different brand) and it doesn't compare to Stuckey's at all. I don't think I'll ever be able...

From 1970 until at least the mid 1980's, my mother, brother, and I would stop at Stuckey's in Hope Hull, Alabama on our way to the beach. For my brother and me, the best part was the plastic Mexican jumping beans sold in the vending machines in the restrooms as well as the Silly Sticky Stuckers such as Bully Bumperhugger and Skid Marks. We also liked the pecan logs! I always wanted to get a hotdog, but that wasn't usually part of our stop.

I was probably 10-12 years old when my parents stopped into get my sister and I some snacks on a trip back to Florida. We both ate a whole box of peanut brittle once we got back on the road. My sister was fine but I puked my guys up and turned green. To this day I cannot even stand the smell of peanut brittle. But I love a good pecan roll.

My husband’s family grew up in Eastman, GA. His Uncle Lawrence Noles was on the Construction team for many of GA’s Stukeys. When we got married my husband,Tommy, introduced me to his Uncle. Everywhere we traveled he talked about his Uncle Lawrence when he saw a Stuckey store. Several months ago we went through Wren’s GA and saw the sign of the First Stuckeys. We said we would plan to go visit on our next trip to the doctor. We had a nice visit last Tuesday. What a blessing to see A Stukeys Uncle Lawrence helped build and buy some... Read more

I travelled throughout the Southeast Region of the U.S. earlier in my life and all of our trips were organized around a Stuckey's location! The pecan log rolls were and are the very best!!!!! We are excited to see the rebirth of Stucky's and we look forward to stopping in every chance we get.

Whenever we went on a trip, dad would always stop at Stuckeys since he knew where every Stuckeys west of the Mississippi was. You see, he painted the signs for all of them. Most of them he painted on site, he would climb up on billboards and swing a stage with rope. The smaller ones he painted in his shop in Monument. Is kids grew up eating Pecan Log Rolls and Green Boiled Peanuts that he brought home. Now he's gone but we still eat a log roll on his birthday.
