About

Stewart’s Shops has been in business for more than 70 years, continually evolving to meet your needs and changing the industry in the process. Today there are over 335 Stewart’s Shops located in 31 counties across upstate New York and southern Vermont, with two thirds of our shops selling gas. Stewart’s Shops employs over 4,500 people in our shops, dairy, ice cream plant, distribution center and corporate offices. You can expect better, friendlier service from our partners because they have an increased sense of pride in their work, now that they own nearly 40% of the company through the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), known as “Profit Sharing.” That’s why our employees are called “Partners.” Unlike a 401K, the ESOP is 100% company paid. We give you high quality products at better prices because we manufacture and/or distribute ¾ of what we sell. The partners in our shops are better able to support you thanks to the support they receive from the plant and distribution center. Our dairy, ice cream plant, and warehouse covers more than five acres of a 50 acre parcel in Greenfield, just outside of Saratoga Springs. This is where we make our high quality products including fresh milk, ice cream, refresher drinks and juices. We have also expanded our Stewart’s Kitchen, where over 16 different kinds of hot foods are produced daily, including chili, mac & cheese, soups, meatballs. We also make our line of “Now and Then” entrees such as Chicken Alfredo, Penne Marinara in meat sauce, and Meatloaf and Mashed Potatoes. In addition to hot foods, we make our own pudding and yogurt parfaits, deli salads, and green salads. Stewart’s Shops is also committed to giving back to the community. The company donates approximately $2.5 million a year to local non-profits and the two Dake family foundations each contribute an equivalent amount. Notably, the 2016 Stewart’s Holiday Match program set a record for the third consecutive season, raising over $1.85 million for local children’s organizations, and more than $24 million to date.
