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.

Friendly people, easy parking, seems clean for the most part. One issue, they have a smoking area away from the building with a picnic table, big thumbs up for that, but then they put an ashtray in front of the door, big thumbs down for that, smokers are to ignorant not to infringe on nonsmokers rights, or the rights of children or those of us who have a lung issue. Do not give them the option to create a cloud of smoke everyone is forced to walk through.

Bought a 12 pack a bud light and the box was a little beat up. Got home and only 11 cans. Was sealed with your stickers. Just stop selling dropped boxes maybe? Or stock good boxes (only 12 pack left..for a reason apparently.

Very clean thanks to a recent remodel. It is often busy here but there's never much of a wait for a gas pump or in line. I have really liked the new air pump they've installed for tires. (Air is always free at Stewart's)
