Stephanie Stuckey is the CEO of Stuckey’s, the roadside oasis famous for its pecan log rolls. The company was founded in 1937 by Stephanie’s grandfather, W.S. Stuckey, Sr., as a pecan stand in Eastman, GA, and grew to over 350 stores nationwide. The company was sold in 1964 but is now back in family hands and making a comeback.

Stephanie took over the company in 2019 and, under her leadership, Stuckey’s has purchased a pecan-shelling and candy-manufacturing facility in Wrens, GA, revamped its distribution operations based in Eastman, GA, acquired a healthy pecan-snack company, rebranded its products and website, added four new franchised stores, expanded its B2B retail customer base, and increased online sales 550% — all while weathering the COVID-19 pandemic.

The event will be from 11 am - 1 pm with lunch being provided.
