Farm fresh food grocer Stew Leonard’s announced that East Meadow, N.Y. will be home to its sixth grocery store and second location on Long Island.
The new Stew Leonard’s store in East Meadow will be 70,000 square feet and located on Front Street, just off of Hempstead Turnpike, in the Serota Organization’s East Meadow Mall, which will be renamed Stew Leonard’s Marketplace and completely renovated in the coming year. Construction on the new store will start in the summer of 2016 with an anticipated opening date of mid-2017. Earlier this month, the farm fresh food grocer opened a 60,000 square foot store in Farmingdale, N.Y.’s Airport Plaza on Route 110. Stew Leonard's was represented by their exclusive broker Jeffrey L. Nable of Ripco Real Estate in both the East Meadow and Farmingdale transactions.
The family-owned and operated store, nicknamed the “Disneyland of Dairy Stores” by The New York Times, was founded as a dairy store in 1969 in Norwalk, Conn. and has grown to include four other locations in Danbury and Newington, Conn. and in Farmingdale & Yonkers, N.Y. The company has received worldwide acclaim for excellence in customer service, and was included for ten consecutive years on FORTUNE magazine's "100 Best Companies to Work for" list. The store also annually donates tens of thousands of dollars to their local communities via the in-store Wishing Well as well as through gift cards, Team Member volunteerism, and food donations.
