Stewart's Shops came to Warrensburg in the spring of 1957 and was located on lower Main Street (No. 17), opposite Don Stone's Garage. Mr. and Mrs. Rex Stone were the proprietors. By late 1957, Elaine and Philip Kenyon were the managers. During 1958 the store moved to 48 Main Street, which was the former location of Nelson DuFresne's Dress shop, Gib Weaver's Laundry, and most recently, Willows Bistro. In 1959 Myrtle Middleton became manager, but was soon replaced by Max Morehouse. In May 1969 the store moved across the street to the former Pete Prespare Mobil Station, which Stewart's completely renovated. In January 2011, the shop again moved, this time to the corner of Main Street and Stewart Farrar Street. Stewart's Shops is a family and employee-owned business started in 1945 and based in Saratoga Springs. Highly community-minded, they currently own more than 325 convenience stores throughout upstate New York and Vermont.
