Original Stuckey's Store Historical Marker

In 1937, W. S. Stuckey opened his first roadside stand in Eastman to sell pecans to tourists. In 1948, Stuckey constructed the first Stuckey's candy plant in Eastman to allow larger production of his sweet treats. Stuckey was a marketing genius and used family appeal, broad advertising to motorists, one-stop shopping, and mail-order candy to promote Stuckey's. Stuckey's candy is currently available for purchase online.

Today, a historical marker stands at the spot where the original Stuckey's road stand and factory sold and produced the Stuckey's legendary candy. 

Want to celebrate Stuckey's history more? There is a mural celebrating Eastman as home of the Original Pecan Log Roll at the intersection of 5th Avenue & West Main Street, which is next to the old train depot in the downtown area. This mural was erected by the Arts Guild of Dodge County.
