While en route to Ohio from Michigan, my family and I would pass by a big restaurant, one of a chain, called Stuckey’s Restaurtant. For some reason, it used to make my parents laugh every single time. My mother thought it rather odd to name an eatery “Stuckey”. A good cook doesn’t want food to get stuck. It was always packed with people.
Yes Stuckeys (famous for pecan roll) is a long time interstate tradition, although a shadow of their former self.
Wiki says they’re down to 115 locations from 350 peak.
Started by W.S. Stuckey. Sold to Pet, which ran it into the ground through corporate mismanagement. (Pet grew the chain from about 350 locations to 75.) Repurchased by the original Stuckey’s son after he retired from Congress; he’s managed to slowly undo the damage and grow the chain.
