- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about Stuckey's. Stuckey's was born in the 1930s just as automobile traffic began to increase to and from Florida along the eastern seaboard. Williamson S. Stuckey Sr., of Eastman, had an especially bountiful pecan harvest one year and decided to sell some of it from a roadside lean-to along Georgia Route 23. People traveling the road quickly bought out all his pecans.
