We would go on a family camping trip every year, our route went through the corner of Wyoming, there was a Stucky's along I15 and we would stop at everytime. We would talk about the treats all year. I remember my grandfather always got lots of peanut brittle for his personal stash.

Growing up in Johnson City, TN, my family would make the “long” trip (about an hour!) to Abingdon, VA nearly every week to visit my grandparents. When I’d see the iconic turquoise roof of Stuckey’s off I-81, I knew that we were there! Of course pecan log rolls were always a wonderful treat, and my mom always loved the pecan divinity… thanks for the priceless memories now that I’m a grandparent myself!

We traveled from California to Texas quite often and always stopped at Stuckeys. The sight of the A frame roof was always welcoming. My favorites were the pimento cheese sandwiches and homemade chocolate shakes. I would wander through the store looking at all of the candy and souvenirs. It was always the best stop on the trip!

As a kid, I wasn't familiar with Stuckey's. That was until indie comic artist, and later game designer and Pixar director, Steve Purcell immortalized it in his series, "Sam & Max." As the comics and games focus on travel across the US, Stuckey's (or Snuckey's as it was parodied) was a big center point of showing Americana and road-trip culture. In an interview, Purcell mentioned that he was a fan of Stuckey's as a kid, and knew he wanted to feature them. Years later, when my own family went on a trip, I was thrilled when we came across a...

Years later, when my own family went on a trip, I was thrilled when we came across a Stuckey's, and demanded we stop. Running inside, I excitedly yelled at my younger brother, "look, they have the Pecan treats just like the ones that Sam and Max buy for the mole man!!!" So glad Stuckey's are still around and flourishing! Oh, and I really want a Floaty Pen, like the concept you showed last year: https://stuckeys.com/the-floaty-pen-remembering-an-iconic-souvenir/...

I saw the report by Harry Smith of NBC News. Brought back memories of my late Mom talking about stopping at Stuckey's in the 1950's.

When I was a kid, we would go on vacation once a year. Every year, we would stop at a Stuckey's and buy a souvenir. Mom would always buy a paddle with the cute sayings on them because she would wear them out on our behinds the rest of the year.

The bees! Who could forget the bee hive in the gift shop. I would run to it every time we stopped there. You could watch the bees build their combs inside. It was thrillling!

So glad you are bringing back Stuckey’s! First memory goes back to my parents and my brother and I driving to Florida in 1961 all the way from Dayton, Ohio. It seems like we usually visited two or three Stuckey’s on the way down and on the way home. The pralines and the pecan log rolls were the best! But I also remember getting rock candy on a stick. We would also pick up state related souvenirs from the stocks too!

My first job when I was 16 was working at the Stuckeys at the Como exit on interstate 55. I was a short order cook. I cooked hamburgers, chicken hot dogs and lots of milk shakes. I made the ham salad and pimento cheese sandwiches. I really learned how to work hard Polly Bagwell was the manager

When I was a 10 year in the 70’s my family would travel from Miami Fla to Scranton Pa to visit my grandma. My dad would stop at Stuckey’s locations along the 2 day drive and I would always ask for (2) pecan rolls! It was a pure delight and my Dad would buy the Praline candy, which my 3 sisters would devour and gain increased energy during the drive North! Thank you Stuckey’s for a memory that I cherish and continue to relish, your candy is the best quality in the World!!

My sister and I were obsessed with Stuckey's when we were little. We loved the pralines and the souvenirs. We lived in Texas and always pestered my mother to stop at Stuckey's when we drove from Austin to Dallas to see my grandmother . And she always did.

On the road from Kansas to Florida. Dad and my mom and three brothers packed into a Chrysler town car station wagon. Came across a Stuckey and bought a lot of junk food and one of my brothers ate so many snacks he through up in the back seat. We were young and in Elementary school. But loved Stuckeys and sorry have not seen one in awhile. Good luck to u in the future. Rick from texas

Ah, my lovely Aunt Mary! She, like my mother, was born in the 1920's but unlike mother, she married my mother's brother who, during WWII was in the Army Air Corp. When they married, they traveled over the world and had three children, one of them my favorite cousin Linda. When my sons and Linda's children were small and we were going to Texas to see them, (we lived in Georgia) I talked to Aunt Mary about what she might want from my area of the country and she had two requests.

When they married, they traveled over the world and had three children, one of them my favorite cousin Linda. When my sons and Linda's children were small and we were going to Texas to see them, (we lived in Georgia) I talked to Aunt Mary about what she might want from my area of the country and she had two requests. One, because they couldn't get them in Texas, was Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. Now, this was in early 1980,81. But more than that, she wanted the Stuckeys cinnamon pecans in the tin can. She and I both loved them, so I made sure we stopped at Stuckey's and got oh, a half a dozen cans of the pecans, a few log rolls and other delishishnish!! (that's what we called it). We arrived around 2300 hrs, hungry, tired, with two tired little boys. Once everyone was settled and bedded down, , Aunt Mary and I sat back, put our feet up and popped open the pecans - a can for me, a can for her, and the other cans well hidden. It's something she asked for on each trip we took to Texas, and when she and her two sisters in law came to see my mother and all of us in Georgia some 15 years later, she made absolutely sure that she secretly gave me at least two cans of the pecans. Oh, to this day, to me - and to my Aunt Mary who is now in heaven with my uncle, Aunt Mary and I agreed that those pecans were exactly a lovely taste of Heaven. Thank you, Stuckey's, for making such "delishishnish!!" I'll never forget the love they brought as I learned to love Aunt Mary as my friend while we nibbled (or gobbled) on those fantastic pecans!...

As a young Ladd in early seventies was a treat for a weekend road trip to Roanoke Virginia and shopping at Stuckeys. The nut logs were so good. We’d load up in the station wagon singing to the radio. Spending hours at Lakeside amusement park. Returning home in Bluefield West Virginia we stop again for treats and beverages. Always filling that fuel tank each way. Wow ... Beach Boy music... Carpenters ... sweet treats to stay awake.. Thank you for those days...🙏😇
