SARATOGA SPRINGS – Stewart’s Shops submitted a site plan approval with the town of Clay last week for a 3,000-square-foot Stewart’s Shop at the corner of Morgan and Buckley roads.
The chain, which has 330 stores in New York and Vermont, has had its eyes on the area for a while Maria D’Amelia, Stewart’s Shops spokeswoman, said. The company has received positive feedback from the community and is hopeful that it will be able to move the process forward, she added.
“It is a location that will suit our needs as well as it is an area that we want to reach out to and serve,” D’ Amelia said.” We are just in the market to grow and our company is in a good place right now. We are looking to expand, we are building shops, and we are in a good place where we are able to do this.”
The proposed Stewart’s store will include a fueling station.
The company has a contract to purchase the land contingent upon approval. A tire store, which will remain on the lot, and a convinience store, which will be knocked down to make room for a Stewart’s store, currantly occupy the lot.
