The retailer's Oswego, N.Y., store recently underwent a $3.1 million reconstruction.

Stewart’s Shops has reopened its Oswego, N.Y., site, now featuring a new beverage bar, a made-to-order sandwich station and a much bigger parking lot.

The larger Stewart’s Shop at 51 West Utica St. is located in the college town of 17,000 on the southeastern banks of Lake Ontario. The $3.1 million reconstruction project will allow Stewart’s to better serve the community.

The 4,500-square-foot shop includes more space for fresh fruit and vegetables, plus a wide variety of mac and cheese, soup, sandwiches and the retailer’s award-winning milk and ice cream.

“The new Stewart’s also features a much larger parking lot, and we have added diesel pumps to a gas island that includes premium non-ethanol gas to make it easier for commuters and residents to make a quick stop and get on with their day,” Stewart’s wrote in a statement.

Stewart’s celebrated the reconstruction of its Oswego shop by holding a grand opening on Oct. 10. To help commemorate the event, Stewart’s donated $3,000 to support programs at the Oswego YMCA.

Stewart’s Shops employs 5,500 people who operate more than 400 convenience stores across upstate New York, Vermont and New Hampshire.
