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

"I remember Stuckey's in the Ozarks, when we stopped for something to drink. The DELIGHTFUL lady there asked me if I'd ever had coconut milk, which I had not. Thanks to her, I tried it...and loved it. I'm not talking about coconut WATER, which tastes like sweat (unless you tap a fresh coconut on your own), but the milk this wonderful woman made with grated coconut, milk, and a bit of sugar. Heavenly, especially to a 10 year old in 1970 on a very interesting road trip. I'm sure she's no longer with us, but she was definitely the spirit... Read more

"I remember traveling from our home in Mexia Texas, along I 45 to Dallas Texas to see my grandparents and stopping at the Stuckey's. I believe it use to be in Wilmar Hutchinson Texas. We would get the pecan milkshake and the pecan roll. (yuuummmm) I sure do miss those trips with the Stuckey's added in."

Back in the 1970's our annual road trip from Toronto Canada to Daytona beach Florida,I think we stopped at almost every stuckey's between these points, we looked forward to seeing souvenirs and trinkets each region had to offer. From those whole smoked hams hanging from the ceiling fixtures to the rare shrunken heads each stuckey's was unique and offered a chance to take a break from the boardem of being a kid in the back seat of a car on a long road trip. For a road side break there is no better place to take a break then at... Read more

My dad would build displays of the pecan clusters and pecan log rolls stack em' high and watch them fly he would say.great memories living in the back room apartment and a lot of long hours in the store. The snow birds would come and buy pecans in the bags shelled and un-shelled to make there Christmas deserts and fruit cake as gifts time I will never forget.... Collapse

I remember these when I was a kid. There are no more of them in Michigan. The pecan logs is the main thing I remember. One bite would give you a cavity, but worth it!

Traveling on I10 in Texas & remembering the old Stuckey's. Decided to stop at travel center at 37311 interstate 10. Got gasoline only, the parking lot & area around the pumps was filthy. Decided not to even go into the store. The management at that location is doing something wrong. There is a Bucee's a miles down the road that is very clean. They have workers that are continually cleaning inside & outside. I was shockef at how bad outside looked.

A Stuckey's on roadtrips = family, comfort food, an oasis, and a life saver for people traveling with kids for 20 hrs and a very low budget. I always loved all the native american items, nostalgic items like Betty Boo, and the awesome staff. Those 99 cents breakfasts were like "heavenly mana". Thank You. We pray God may prosper your bussines.
