About UsAlthough our roots are in the dairy business, we’ve grown into much more than an ice cream shop. Stewart’s Shops are open seven days a week providing our customers with the freshest milk and homemade ice cream, piping hot coffee and food to go, and a complete line of convenience groceries and services. We employ approximately 4,500 people in our Shops, Dairy, Ice Cream Plant, Distribution Center and Offices. Stewart’s realizes over $1 Billion in annual sales, over $50 million in profits, and contributed nearly $15 Million to our employee profit sharing plan last year. Our company believes in giving back to the communities where we have shops and donates a portion of our annual profits to charity; $2.5 million in 2013.
