Stewart's is investing heavily to meet the changing shopping and eating habits of its customers. The company built a kitchen at its dairy plant and warehouse and has hired more staff to prepare chili, salads, pre-packaged meals and crockpot items. There also is an increased demand for frozen dinners as more people are finding they have less time to sit down to a traditional meal, he said. Over the past year, Stewart's has acquired at least three properties in Saratoga County.

Highly recommend this company. Pros Stewart's prepaid cards, day reviews with bonuses, great benefits. Cons limited amount of locations near berkshire county. Poor work environment.

The transition from ice cream shop to convenience store began in when Stewart's petitioned the Department of Agriculture for approval to sell milk produced by its dairy in its ice cream shops. Permission was granted and Stewart's enjoyed immediate success in the retail milk business. Since the company was able to produce its own milk, it could cut retail prices by 25 percent, thereby attracting a good deal of business.
It was only a matter of time before the ice cream shops began offering other dairy products--and non-dairy products as well, including what would be considered the three staples of convenience stores: beer, soda, and cigarettes.
In Charles S. Dake also took over the running of Saratoga Dairy, succeeding his uncle. A year later he convinced his brother, William P. Dake, to join him in turning around the dairy, which at this point was losing money. More than just a trusted sibling, Bill Dake was a Cornell University-trained engineer. He used his expertise to restore the dairy operation to profitability. For a time during the late s and early s, Stewart's ran several Farmer in the Dell Shops, but the growth of the company was tied to the success of its expanding chain of Stewart's Shops and the popularity of its ice cream.
Another important factor was the retention of employees. Stewart's established its own ESOP, in effect selling part of the company to the employees, a stake that over time would become one-third of the company. With an interest in the business, Stewart's employees stayed longer and proved more industrious, in the end making the two-thirds stake in the business more valuable, in the opinion of the Dake family, than if the family had retained full ownership.
To further aid in the retention of employees, Stewart's also offered benefits, such as health care, that were quite liberal compared to what other convenience store chains offered. Another major step in the evolution of Stewart's shops was the addition of self-service gasoline pumps. The decade also brought sadness to the Dake family, as Charles Dake struggled with cancer, eventually succumbing to it in at the age of His brother William now assumed the presidency of the company and continued to grow the Stewart's chain.
In the th shop opened, located in Schenectady. William's son, Gary C. Dake, joined him in to relieve some of the burden.
