Stew Leonard's - The World's LARGEST Dairy Store

(Danbury ,Connecticut)

Excerpts from Beth:
Kristy & Beth with an Orange at stew Leonard'sWhat's a Roadchick to do on a Sunday or holiday morning?? Typically, a lot of the museums are closed or operating on a limited schedule, so the Roadchix have to sharpen their creative pencil to come up with a plan for these "off" days.

So what was the plan for the morning?? A grocery store, of course. . . more specifically, Stew Leonard's "World's LARGEST" Dairy store. Expecting nothing more than a huge store (which would have been fine for a Roadchix agenda), we were treated to much, much more.

Was it a huge store? Yes. There was some of the best variety and miles of produce we've ever seen. Why else would people
battle the crowds and the "deep, deep, roving right field overflow parking" except for exceptional quality and selection? But beyond that, there were treats around every turn--animatronic animals and food that did periodic song and dance numbers much to the delight of young and old alike, a petting zoo full of baby barnyard animals and even a walking tangerine!!

The Roadchix quickly made a lap of the store to scope out the
scene--and then took a more leisurely stroll waiting for each mini-performance. We finished off with a stop at the petting zoo and then made the loooooooooooooooooong trek back to the car.

Stew Leonard's World's LARGEST Dairy store is a MUST see--especially for those days when there's nothing else
open or the pocketbook is feeling light and you're in search of some entertainment.
