  1. Stephanie Stuckey: Rebuilding Stuckey's a part of Americana Carl Landau, Stephanie Stuckey 50:26

This month’s guest Stephanie Stuckey brings Carl down memory lane. He has great childhood memories of begging his mom for a Stuckey’s Stop, a popular roadside oasis in the 60’s! Apparently, there are millions of people that have the same memory. At its height, there were over 350 Stuckey’s stores across the country filled with candy, novelty toys and their world famous pecan log rolls. 

Stephanie’s grandfather sold the business in 1964 and over the course of time the Stuckey’s stores were in a state of disrepair. The brand was practically extinct when Stephanie bought back the business in 2019. She and two business partners have totally rebranded and modernized the company.

The Stuckey’s story and Stephanie Stuckey’s personal life journey from a public defender to politician to entrepreneur are truly inspiring.
