My Stewart’s Story: Meet Stewart’s Shop manager Patrick Sharkey

A male store manager wearing a black cap and black jacket with a name tag reading 'Patrick, Manager 8 Yrs' stands inside a convenience store. He has a serious expression and looks directly at the camera. The background features store shelves stocked with various products, a digital screen on the wall, and promotional signage. A maroon banner with white text reading 'Come Grow With Us!' overlays the bottom of the image.

Scooping ice cream and working closely with the community are two of Patrick Sharkey’s favorite parts of running the Stewart’s Shop on Erie Boulevard in Schenectady.

“You can’t be angry or upset when you’re doing ice cream,” Patrick says.

Patrick joined the Stewart’s team nine years ago after the restaurant he was working at closed.

“One of my favorite things about Stewart’s is how well they treat their people,” Patrick says. Stewart’s health insurance and retirement programs are among the best benefits Patrick has had in his career.

With the right drive and attitude, everyone who works at Stewart’s has the ability to grow, Patrick says.
