Stuckey shares growth strategies and iconic brand’s comeback story
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (June 6, 2024) – Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty recently welcomed Stephanie Stuckey, Chair of Stuckey's Corporation, the iconic brand known for its pecan snacks and treats, to its companywide business meeting. Stuckey, the granddaughter of Stuckey’s Founder and the author of “UnStuck: Rebirth of an American Icon,” spoke about business growth strategies, being resilient and revitalizing the family’s brand.
“We were thrilled to welcome Stephanie Stuckey to Northeast Florida and hear how her optimistic leadership has helped revitalize the company’s products, expand their distribution and reconnect with their loyal customers.” said Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty President Ann King
“Stephanie has brought new vitality to the Stuckey’s name, said Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty Founder and Chairman Linda Sherrer. “She is passionate about growth and innovation, and her inspirational story about the Stuckey’s comeback journey really resonated with our team.”
Founded in 1937 by Stuckey’s grandfather, W.S. Stuckey, Sr., in Eastman, Georgia, the brand was sold in more than 350 stores nationwide at its peak in the 1970s. Under a series of corporate owners, sales languished, and the brand declined. Stephanie Stuckey purchased the company in November 2019. In the years since, the company acquired a pecan snack and candy plant in Wrens, Georgia to produce Stuckey’s branded snacks, which are now sold in nearly 5,000 retail stores nationwide.
Before taking over the company, Stuckey worked as a trial lawyer, state representative and environmental law firm manager, and served as Atlanta’s director of sustainability. Stuckey has taught as an adjunct professor at the University of Georgia School of Law.
