STEW LEONARD’S ANNOUNCES WINNERS OF VALENTINE’S DAY CONTEST |
(WOW the COW To Deliver Roses, Chocolate Strawberries and $100 Gift Certificate) |
NORWALK, CONN., Feb. 13, 2004 – Roses are red and violets are blue, it is not easy picking a Valentine if you are Stew. More than 1,000 entries poured in online and in-store for the "Will You Be Stew Leonard's Valentine" Contest. Three winning letters were chosen from each store based on creativity, originality, and how it “WOWed” the judges. “Some entries made us laugh, others touched our hearts, and many impressed us with their creativity,” said Stew Leonard, Jr. President & CEO of Stew Leonard’s. “It makes me so proud of our Team Members who deliver great customer service and create a positive shopping experience for Stew Leonard’s customers every day.” The winners receive a visit from their very own
special Valentine --“Wow the Cow” -- who will personally deliver a dozen
roses, Stew’s chocolate covered strawberries and a $100 gift
card to each winner, in the store’s “Moo” van, along
with Stew Leonard’s “prize patrol” team members. |

Maj. Craig Landau, MD 4219th US Army Hospital (for Gabriella Rose Landau) I'm writing this Valentine on behalf of my beautiful 9-month old daughter, Gabriella. We visit Stew's at least three times per week. She is absolutely wild over the trapeze artists, the mooing cow and the Chiquita Banana lady. I'm here with her now for the last time for quite some time as I've been activated with the Army Reserves Medical Corps. I will spend each day while I am away, thinking of our first return trip to Stew's, and the mile-wide smile she will show me. |
| Carol Herbert, Norwalk February 14th Valentine's Day was always my favorite day when my husband was alive. He always came to Stew Leonard's and surprised me with flowers. Although he is no longer with me, I still continue his tradition and come to Stew's myself for flowers. However, it would be really nice to have them delivered to my door -- kind of in memory of Jim! |
| Andrea Rosen, Norwalk Sing to the tune of Da-doo-run-run I needed some potatoes so I thought I'd take |
| YONKERS STORE WINNERS |
Sergio Bures, Croton-on-Hudson Stew's, you pull out all the stops -- from Krispy Kremes to Muffin Tops. Wines - delicious! And so reasonable! Am I dreaming? It can't be feasible! Fruit so fresh they make men weep. I'm Stew's-obsessed. I cannot sleep. End this madness, I implore. Send "WOW" with chocolates to my door. |
| Dolores Guarnieri, Yonkers Leonard’s Valentine Stew (was written on an elaborately decorated silver platter) 1. Select lamb, beef or veal, each choice cut, a great deal |
| Sharon Kern-Taub, Bronx, NY My two-year old son loves Stewie the Duck Learns to Swim. It is the most watched video we have in the house. As a result of this video, Matthew will not go into a pool without his safe life vest. At our building pool, Matthew tells all the big boys, “don’t jump in, learn to swim!”. He has seven rubber duckies that take a bath with him, each one named Stewie. I hope you will be his Valentine and mine! |

Dana Krysynski, Trumbull, CT |
| Rebecca Melendez, Bethel, CT I love Stew’s ‘cause it’s really cool, the food is great and the staff is too. You can bring the kids along for the ride, they’re as happy as clams to see the fun inside. Thank you Stew’s for your good staff and good stuff, folks like me can’t get enough |
| Audra Prochko, Brookfield, CT I love Stew Leonard’s because my kids think I am taking them to an amusement park, my husband thinks I made dinner from “scratch” every night and I look like Martha Stewart to the world. Thanks for making it so easy for me! |
