Stew Leonard's dairy empire blends store and spectacle
The Norwalk based founder Stew Leonard built a towering dairy themed store that doubles as entertainment. Customers fill a daily suggestion box while staff run a cheerful operations culture. Leonard’s philosophy centers on customer happiness, with a Stone age rule board and a growing family run empire. He financed the business with a remortgage and SBA loan, expanding from seven items to a sprawling complex with a million dollar kitchen and in store viewing of processing. Plans for a Danbury location promise a larger version with real cows.
