Join us on Thursday, January 29th from 5:30 - 7:30 pm for our PCBA Business After Hours Speaker Series.
"Rebirth of an American Icon - Stuckey's"
Stephanie Stuckey is Chair of Stuckey’s, known as a highway oasis serving up pecan log rolls and fun to generations of Americans.
Founded in 1937 by her grandfather, W.S. Stuckey, Sr. in Eastman, Georgia, Stuckey’s grew into over 350 stores nationwide by its peak in the 1970’s. The company was sold and sadly declined for decades under a series of outside corporate owners. Fortunately, Stuckey’s returned to family hands in 2019 when Stephanie acquired the then-failing brand.
Stuckey’s acquired a pecan snack and candy plant in Wrens, GA in January of 2021. Since then, sales have grown from $2 to 10 million. Stuckey’s also operates a distribution center, a fundraising business, a corporate gift program, and an online store.
Stephanie received both her undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Georgia. She worked as a trial lawyer, was elected to seven terms as a state representative, served as Director of Sustainability for Atlanta, and taught at the University of Georgia School of Law. Stephanie’s achievements include being named one of the Most Admired CEOs of 2022 by the Atlanta Business Chronicle, 100 Most Influential Georgians by Georgia Trend Magazine and a graduate of Leadership Atlanta. She serves on the corporate boards for Bealls, a Florida-based retailer, and Full Course, a company that supports restaurant entrepreneurs.
Stephanie’s book, “UnStuck” Rebirth of an American Icon,” chronicles her story was published in 2024 and has received positive reviews by the Wall Street Journal and Georgia Public Broadcasting, among others.
We will be awarding a check to one of our outstanding local charities. We are proud to sponsor this organization as they continue to impact our community.
We are excited to have an evening of business networking, a variety of beverages and great food. You will receive a Stuckey's sweet treat if you register in advance.
