For those of us old enough to remember, a trip to the beach in Florida or perhaps to Nashville, involved a stop at one of the many Stuckey’s stores along the highways in the South.  The company all but went away, but the granddaughter of the founder of Stuckey’s says the company is making a comeback.

Stephanie Stuckey says, “My family’s business – once known for its chain of stores on America’s highway – but sadly in financial distress when I acquired it in 2019 was in dire need of a reboot”.  Stuckey purchased a pecan snack manufacturing plant in January of 2021 to begin production of the famous Stuckey’s pecan candy rolls.   Stuckey says, along with the CEO of her company, she has restored the company to profitability.

Now, Stuckey’s is expanding the facility in Wren, Georgia and adding new machinery and more jobs.  The company has also been able to give employees three rounds of raises over the past two years.

Stuckey’s products can now be found in over 5,000 retail stores across the country.

Stephanie Stuckey also says her desire is to open a few of the iconic Stuckey’s stores “to revive the wonderful road trip experience my grandfather created”.
