After decades of ownership changes, Stephanie Stuckey bought the brand back in 2016 with her life savings and reinvented it as a pecan snack and candy company. Today, Stuckey's is in about 4,000 retail doors nationwide, produces pecan log rolls, pralines, and flavored pecans, and remains the largest employer in Wrens, Georgia.
