Stuckey’s
Since 1937, Stuckey’s has been a part of the American travel landscape for folks to stop by and “Relax, Refresh, & Refuel”.
Who could forget the pecan divinity, flavored pecans, and most of all the celebrated Stuckey’s Pecan Log Roll, a heavenly inspired creation of Mrs. Ethel Stuckey herself? Based on a secret mix of powdered sugar, white molasses, and roasted nuts, that mouth-watering miracle of fluffy white sweetness covered in its own deep coating of crushed select pecans became the soul and spirit of the store and the number one reason for families to stop… well, along with using the restrooms, gassing up the car, and having a snack and a soft drink, of course.
Comments:
Stuckey’s started with a $35 loan and a truck. Our founder, W.S. Stuckey, Sr., and his wife, Ethel, sold pecans and Ethel’s homemade candies at a roadside stand along Highway 23 in Eastman Georgia in 1937. Through grit and determination, they grew the stores from these humble beginnings to a roadside empire offering kitschy souvenirs, clean restrooms, Texaco gas, candies, and the iconic pecan log roll.
Our company and our country have experienced a lot of changes since those simpler times, but Stuckey’s is still family-owned and operated, and remains true to our Southern hospitality roots where “every highway traveler is a friend.”
We’re sharing a few of the nostalgic photos of our customers from years past with you and invite you to do the same. YOU are a part of Stuckey’s history, and we wouldn’t be here without you. So please, let us hear from you by sharing your thoughts and Stuckey’s memories in our Guestbook and on our Facebook page to help us grow as a Southern classic with a modern spin.
While you’re at it, visit our online store to pick up a pecan log roll or some divinity to help revive some sweet memories of Stuckey’s stops.
At Stuckey’s, we’ve been creating memories for America’s road trippers since 1937. Thanks for being part of our journey!
