\nFounded in 1937 by her grandfather\, W.S. Stuckey\, Sr. in Eastman\, Georgia\, Stuckey&rsquo\;s grew into over 350 stores nationwide by its peak in the 1970&rsquo\;s.

Fortunately\, Stuckey&rsquo\;s returned to family hands in 2019 when Stephanie acquired the then-failing brand.

\nStuckey&rsquo\;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&rsquo\;s also operates a distribution center\, a fundraising business\, a corporate gift program\, and an online store.

\nStephanie 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&rsquo\;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.
