Stewart’s Shops has announced the return of its two for $3 Refresher deal, available from June 8-14. The deal applies to 20-ounce Tea and Lemonade Refresher bottles.
“As summer temperatures rise, Stewart’s Shops has the perfect way to stay refreshed,” the retailer noted in a statement. “The 20-ounce Stewart’s Refresher line is freshly made bottled beverages from Stewart’s Shops that include teas, lemonades, juices and energy beverages produced at the Stewart’s plant in Greenfield, N.Y.”
Stewart’s noted that its Refreshers are never stored in warm climates, but they are kept cool from production to delivery in an effort to “ensure the highest quality freshest taste possible,” the statement continued.
Refresher flavors available in-store now include:
- Raspberry Tea
- Green Tea
- Unsweetened Brewed Tea
- Sweet Tea
- Lemon Tea
- Country Club
- Lemonade
- Strawberry Lemonade
- Fruit Punch
- Blue Raspberry
- Diet Peach Tea
- Diet Country Club
As Stewart’s continues to roll out innovative rewards and deals for its customers, it is simultaneously investing in its store network. Last week, the chain announced a $55 million investment to expand and renovate its locations across New York and Vermont, according to a recent statement from the chain.
“There is a growing need for fresh, quality food and beverages, plus our award-winning milk and ice cream and other services,” said Stewart’s Shops president Chad Kiesow. “We are committed to investing in our shops so we can serve our communities to the best of our ability.”
To accomplish its goal, Stewart’s is expanding in several markets this year with the opening of new shops in Sidney, Alexandria Bay and Cohoes, N.Y. The company also opened a shop this month in the former Dexter Market location near Watertown, N.Y.
The Dexter site underwent a $2.5 million transformation following a two-month renovation period in March and April. The shop now features a large food bar with soup, meatballs and mac & cheese. Stewart’s also added an expanded grocery section, a sandwich station and a beer cave.
To celebrate the opening of the new shop, Stewart’s held a grand opening event with food and drink specials on May 29. The company donated $1,000 and $500 in gift certificates to General Brown High School and $1,000 to the Dexter Free Library to mark the occasion.
The retailer is also rebuilding locations in Dolgeville, Norwich, Saratoga Springs, St. Johnsville, Watertown and Wilton, N.Y.
Meanwhile, Stewart’s continues to rebrand and introduce ice cream counters at several of the former Jolley shops that were acquired in late 2024.
“Stewart’s one-stop-shop model of serving as a coffee shop, a restaurant, an ice cream shop and a gas station has helped the company play an important role in neighborhoods throughout New York and Vermont,” Kiesow said.
In addition to the larger construction projects, Stewart’s is remodeling at least 15 shops to increase food and beverage offerings at some of its older, smaller locations.
To support this growth, Stewart’s is in the midst of a multiyear, $30 million expansion of its plant and commercial kitchen just outside Saratoga Springs in Greenfield, N.Y.
Today, Stewart’s owns and operates more than 400 convenience stores across upstate New York, Vermont and western New Hampshire.
