New Stewart’s Shop Location Proposed For Dutchess County, NY

Popular convenience store chain reportedly has a new location coming in the future.

Stewart's Shops headquarters is located in Ballston Spa, NY, and serves Eastern Upstate NY and southwestern Vermont. The chain has 350-plus locations with many around the Hudson Valley. Known for branded ice cream, potato chips, hard rolls, root beer, milk, coffee, and other drinks, three-fourths of their stores also sell gasoline.

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.

We just reported earlier this month on the grand opening of the Stewart's Shop in Pine Plains, the newly rebuilt shop that the company invested over $2.7 million into.

New Stewart's Shop Being Proposed in LaGrange

I was driving down Rt 55 in the LaGrange, NY area over the weekend and noticed a sign for a proposed Stewart's Shop at the corner of Rt 55 and Rt 82 across from the Country Commons Plaza and an "On the Go" Exxon gas station.

According to the Stewart's Shops website, in a piece titled Stewart's Shops, Something Better for LaGrange, Stewart's Shops says that they are under contract to purchase property at the corner of Routes 55 and 82 in LaGrange and that its proposed rezoning of approximately 1.5 acres at the site from a general business zone to commercial to accommodate gas. The proposed rezoning is said to be compatible with surrounding uses including a strip mall, Mid-Hudson Bank, an existing gas station and multiple self-storage facilities.
