“I don’t know his name but the man with the bow tie is an absolute saint. I left my phone in my friends car last night and I don’t know my way around glens falls that well and I prayed that someone at ridge road Stewart’s could help me, but it was 12:40 in the morning and I was sure they were closed and gone home. But nope. He just happened to be outside cleaning the door handles when I passed by. I stopped and asked for help finding bay road and he gave me such good clear directions and even calmed me down so much from my panic ? that man deserves a raise. I was so lost last night and if he wasn’t outside at that specific time I would have never found my way around and never got my phone back last night. I don’t know his name but I want to thank him so much!! I keep saying he was an angel sent to help me! Who happens to be cleaning the door handles at 12:40 in the morning?? What a friggen saint. He deserves everything good that comes to him!!”

“I am a resident of The Pines Nursing Home and my son often stops and brings me cup of your great coffee. I do wish for more often treats you delivered not just for me for others like visitors that walk in with Stewart’s products a lot.”
“Love Stewart's - whether I'm on my Bicycle training and need hydration, on my motorcycle and need a quick bite, or just want to walk there for a milkshake, it is the best. Glad they are almost everywhere - my preferred place!”
“Aaron at Cumbys deserves his own commemorative plaque. Scuba Steve has been to many convenience stores in his lifetime. Some have snacks. Some have beverages. Some have suspicious hot dogs spinning under fluorescent lighting. But Aaron? Aaron brings CULTURE. This man could probably sell a bottle of water to a fish. 10/10 service. 10/10 vibes. 11/10 Aaron. If Cumbys had a Hall of Fame, Aaron would already have his jersey retired. Scuba Steve salutes you, Aaron.”
