Stew Leonard's

Stew Leonard's is more than a grocery store – It's an experience! Known as the "Disneyland of Dairy Stores," this family-owned company has been making shopping fun since 1969 with its unique country-fair vibe, complete with costumed characters and animated entertainment.

Today, the Leonard family runs eight farm-fresh food stores across Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. They're stocked with just-picked produce, fresh-from-the-docks seafood, a bustling in-store bakery, ready-to-go meals, meat from family-owned cattle ranches in the Midwest, a selection of freshly sliced deli meats and cheeses, and more.

"Back in the early 80s, our family got a call from a good friend. He wanted to send gift baskets to 100 of his clients, so we quickly pulled together treats from the store – caramel corn, cheese, fresh cookies, nuts, and more – and hand-wrapped each basket for delivery. Before we knew it, the phone was ringing off the hook! Since then, we’ve grown to a full production facility, shipping our signature cowprint boxes across the country. It’s been a true labor of love, with family and team members working together to share the fresh, wholesome goodness of Stew Leonard’s with friends and families everywhere.” – Beth Leonard Hollis
