What) From its humble beginnings as a small dairy store founded in 1969 with seven employees, Stew Leonard's has grown to become not only the World's Largest Dairy Store, but one of the most renowned grocery stores, with annual sales of nearly $300 million and almost 2,000 Team Members. In addition to the headquarters store in Norwalk, Stew Leonard's has stores in Danbury, Newington and Yonkers, N.Y.
Stew Leonard's was dubbed the "Disneyland of Dairy Stores" by the New York Times because of its own milk processing plant, costumed characters, scheduled entertainment, petting zoo and animatronics throughout the stores. (1)

Why) Our
next visit was to see Pam's
sister. As we walked around the maze of Norwalks, Pam
and I both had fun imagining the start of this conversation
with Martha.
“So, what
sights have you been seeing?”
“Well, a lot of grocery stores and graveyards.”
