Stew’s News

Happy 40th anniversary, Stew Leonard’s!

You’ve come a long way from a couple of milk carton vending machines at the corner of Saugatuck, Riverside and Treadwell Avenues in Westport.

Your latest $4 million expansion is impressive.  You’ve added more aisles without changing the store’s footprint — I still can’t figure out how — and introduced new pasta and pizza stations.  The bathrooms no longer resemble a third world country.

But I have to know:

How can you sell steak, sushi, pomagranate juice, flowers, Christmas trees and cashmere sweaters, and still call yourself a “dairy store”?

And — speaking of dairy stores — when will you add an apostrophe to the claim that you are the Worlds Largest?

Its been killing me for almost 40 years.
