If you’re of an age to remember tourist camps, Burma Shave signs, and two-lane blacktops - or even gas lines, Pintos, and crackling AM radio - chances are you remember the sprawling Stuckey’s empire: a venerable roadside oasis - and a highway heaven of souvenirs, cold drinks, hot snacks, and pecan candy - marked by the pitched roof and teal blue shingles.

Who could forget the pecan divinity, flavored pecans, and most of all the celebrated Stuckey’s Pecan Log Roll? 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.

Founded in 1937 as a roadside pecan stand in Eastman, GA by W.S. Stuckey, Sr., Stuckey’s fell out of family hands for decades. The chain is now back in the family and is run today by W.S.’s granddaughter, Stephanie Stuckey, and ready to introduce the brand to a whole new generation of travelers. Stuckey’s continues to offer a place where roadtrippers can relax, refresh, and refuel along the nation’s highways.

Join us for a fun-filled hour of conversation about the joys of roadtripping and the wonderful places in this great country of ours that we visit along the way. Every week we’ll feature some classic, nostalgic candies and talk about the history and origins of some of our favorite souvenirs and toys. Let’s make some memories together on the Stuckey’s Hour!
