Convenience Stores in South Glens Falls, NY

“Let's cut to the chase: I concur with the only other review for this Stewart's as of this writing - 4 stars. That fine review has stood the test of time, as has Stewart's. This chain has no affiliation with the line of sodas/root beer OR the burger purveyor we see in NJ that originated from the Midwest. Stewart's got its start as many legendary C-stores (such as Wawa): they sold milk and other dairy stuff with a model of vertical integration that ensured low prices and great quality. To this day, they have a "milk club" open to all. After 10 punches of the card, you get a free half gallon of milk or a gallon at 1/2 price. Too bad I don't drink milk. With the passage of time, especially "in these times," the low prices may not always hold true. For example, A bag of Doritos was $5.60, and an 18 pack of Labatt Blue (I like it better than Molson Canadian) was...$18. Neither of these items were purchased. Even the formerly local "pride of the neighborhood" Freihofer's cookies were "discounted" by a measly $1, when they're often BOGO. Still, they had a couple of local beers that caught my eye and I grabbed 2 tall boys for later imbibing. One was brewed in my former home of 6 years- Schenectady, NY. Another came from nearby Vermont. Those and a couple good sized bottles of delicious polar seltzer ran $10. Not awful I guess. They sell pizza for around $2.60 a slice. It didn't look great but I'm sure it's edible. Buttered rolls, peanut buttered rolls, apple fritters, and some other baked goods were up front. Coffee selection is usually decent and on par with the diner stuff- you decide if that's a good or bad thing. Camping supplies such as firewood and s'more kits were there just in time for summer. Come winter, the snow shovels and ice scrapers move in. There are a couple of tables to sit if you want to enjoy your beverage or snack outside of the car. They do sell ice cream and shakes made to order that the locals love. The middle of the store has a very respectable freezer area with ice cream, pizza, TV dinners and the like. Their half gallons of ice cream are very good. Not sure if they're still there size or if they've been "shrinkflated." The restroom was clean! The clerk was friendly- even greeting me on entry and offering a paper bag for my goodies. They are known for treating employees well with stock options and an Adirondack condo that staff can sign up to use. So why not 5 stars? The prices weren't the greatest, the beer selection was limited (but the local stuff is appreciated), and the parking lot is a little wonky in layout. That said, Stewart's are around from the NY/Quebec border down to Orange County, NY and also in Rutland and Bennington Counties in VT. I used to have one at the end of my block in Schenectady and was reminded today of why I miss it sometimes, especially compared to the QuickCheck that's next door to us these days. Stop by one when you can. Perhaps you too will be inspired to write about vertical integration at 10:30 on a Monday night.”

“They always have great ice cream selections with many different flavors including seasonal flavors. The ice cream is always creamy. The gas prices are also fairly reasonable.”

“It's just your normal/typical gas station & convenience store! It's fairly big and in good shape! It's kept clean! Their gas prices are okay! Their inline with other gas stations in the vicinity!”

“Speedway is speedway they're not bad I really wish they would bring back stoker's chew some arbitrary a****** the side of the store near me needed to stop carrying it overall it's good gas station I'm glad they actually work with getupside the only thing I wish they would have is a slushie machine in every store especially now that they're actually are 7-Eleven”

“I've driven by this Walgreens so many times but have never actually been inside. Until yesterday. I was lucky enough to score my first Covid vaccine there. This is a good sized store with a small-ish parking lot. Very clean and easy to navigate. I expected there to be a little bit more organization around the vax situation...but after I spoke with the pharmacist, I found out that they were double booked without having any additional help. So, the overwhelmed staff gets a pass. It's not easy doing what they do: providing a safe environment for seekers of the Covid vaccine along with lines of people coming in to get their prescriptions filled. Then, of course...it's a store. People are shopping for stuff. All things considered, they managed the small group of us vaccine participants and pharmacy-goers well. They were only running about 20 minutes behind...which is amazing compared to some other folks that were in vax lines for hours at other locations. I would shop here in the future now that I've actually been inside.”
