Stewart’s Shops chief operating officer Chad Kiesow worked shifts at our Nassau and North Creek shops last week to thank our partners for their hard work and our customers for their generosity during another strong Holiday Match season.
“Working a shift or two in a Stewart’s Shop is always humbling, you get a better appreciation for what our partners do day in and day out for our communities,” Kiesow said.
“It is a great opportunity to learn what we can do better. It also is the perfect opportunity to thank the customers, who support us all year,” he said.
Kiesow started the week by making sandwiches, running the cash register and talking to customers at the Stewart’s Shop at 3516 Route 20 in Nassau. Customers donated nearly $4,000 at the shop during our Holiday Match campaign.
Our chief operating officer also worked a 4-hour shift at our busy North Creek shop at 3259 Route 28 in North Creek, just a short distance from Gore Mountain.
That shop had an impressive Holiday Match season as our generous customers donated more than $6,000.
Companywide, customers donated more than $885,000 to Holiday Match this season. With Stewart’s Shops doubling those donations, it means more than $1.75 million will be distributed to support local nonprofit children’s charities throughout upstate New York and Vermont.
