Stew Leonard's is 25

Both Stew Leonard Jr., and his brother Tom Leonard, were greeted Wednesday evening with great applause while they celebrated Stew Leonard's 25th anniversary.

"It's been a great ride," Stew Leonard Jr. said. "I want to thank all of our people. They make it happen."

Tom Leonard recalled opening the Danbury store in a tent with his cousin Dan Arthur 25 years ago.

"I walked around the store after I got here. It's never looked better," said Tom Leonard, who now runs his own store, Tom Leonard's in Richmond, Va.
