For me, Stewart's Shops is a daily visit, while commuting to work in Poughkeepsie. It's always been a favorite convenience store and I usually always will stop in whether it be for a drink or a quick bite to eat.

Stewart’s Shops is teaming up with more than 45 police departments to celebrate National Coffee with a Cop Day on Wednesday, Oct. 1st, 2025. According to National Day Calendar, National Coffee with a Cop Day, celebrated on the first Wednesday in October, provides a unique opportunity to connect with men and women in uniform on a personal level over a simple cup of coffee.

This event is a great opportunity to give Stewart’s customers a place to connect with local law enforcement and discuss their community. Stewart’s provided free coffee certificates to participating police agencies to share with customers in the spirit of encouraging community engagement.

Because Stewart's Shops are your coffee shop, Stewart’s is the perfect place to bring people together.
