Of Interest

This afternoon, the Albany Business Review published an article that may be of interest to those following the ongoing conversation about Stewart's and its desire to expand the gas station and convenience store at Green Street and Fairview Avenue: "Stewart's closing two low-volume stores." The two stores are located in Albany and Amsterdam. One sentence from the article seems especially relevant: "The lack of available property in Albany and Amsterdam made it too difficult and expensive to attempt to renovate either of the under-performing stores." The article also reports that according to Stewart's president, Gary Dake, "Government regulations are making it harder to grow in some communities."

      Going by the logic of the Albany Business Review, Stewart's in Hudson must not be under-performing. This can only mean that the store is useful to the community.

    To Stewart: Go grow somewhere else.

    This Stewart's should follow the model of the one in Red Hook, by the Historic Diner, and TAKE OUT ITS GAS PUMPS!
