As a child whose family made numerous road trips during the 1970s and 1980s, we likely stopped at Stuckey’s during our stays at Holiday Inn and our meals at Howard Johnson’s. I didn’t, however, then take much notice of Stuckey’s and its distinctive buildings. However, that changed while working on listing a Stuckey’s building in the National Register of Historic Places in 2022. I accomplished this with Stephanie Stuckey’s generous assistance, along with documenting the chain’s remaining buildings in Arkansas.
