What is Stewart's Ice Cream?

Stewart's Ice Cream is the chain's signature product and the original reason Charles Dake created the Stewart's Shops retail format in 1945. The ice cream is made daily at the Stewart's-owned Greenfield Center New York plant (north of Saratoga Springs), then shipped to every Stewart's Shops store across Upstate New York, Vermont, and the chain's other markets. Available by the scoop, cone, sundae, milkshake, or pint at every Stewart's Shops store. Popular flavors include Crumbs Along the Mohawk (a vanilla-base flavor with cookie crumbs), Adirondack Bear Paw, and Philly Vanilla. The ice cream is the chain's headline distinctive and a primary reason many Upstate New York shoppers visit Stewart's regularly.

Stewart's Shops Corp. is family-controlled by the Dake family with significant employee ownership through an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan); over 30 percent of company stock is held by employees. Charles V. Dake bought the original Stewart's Dairy in 1945 and his son Gary Dake serves as the current president.
