Stuckey's vs Hallmark Card Shop Franchise Comparison

Since 1937, Stuckey’s has been a part of the American travel landscape for folks to stop by and "Relax, Refresh, & Refuel”

An icon of the American highways, Stuckey’s franchises about 200 stores located along interstates throughout the US. It began with the traditional blue-roofed, stand-alone locations, but today consists primarily of co-branded Stuckey’s , in which a Stuckey’s outlet is located inside other convenience stores and travel centers.

Stuckey’s sells its pecans and pecan candies (pralines, divinity, brittle and its famous Pecan Logs) along with gifts and souvenirs (t-shirts, postcards and trinkets).
