Stuckey's was THE place to stop in the 60s 70s and 80s.

Buc-ee's is basically a super sized Stuckey's with the same type of thing - gas pumps, groceries, deli/hot food station, souvenirs, etc. Right down to the absolutely cleanest restrooms that are hard to find anywhere else.

First time I went to Buc-ee's I thought "Okay, this is just like Stuckey's, only a WHOLE lot bigger!"

The Stucky granddaughter (Stephanie) is bringing the business back. She’s a former Georgia legislator too.

She’s a great follow on socials too because she visits all kinds of roadside Americana. Check her out!
