Stewart's Shops will close its retail location at 487 Fourth Street in Troy on October 29, 2026. The decision follows the company's inability to expand or rebuild the store to provide more fresh food and beverage options.
Why it matters
The closure reflects the company's shift toward larger store footprints that accommodate modern service demands. While the Fourth Street shop is closing, employees have been offered roles at other nearby locations.
The Fourth Street store is one of several Stewart's Shops serving the Troy community, which has hosted the company for more than 50 years. Other active locations in the city include 8 Vandenburg Avenue, 127 Congress Street, and 2 Brunswick Road.
