00:00Have you ever wished your grocery store had singing asparagus, a patented rice cake popper,
00:04and a petting zoo? Well, at Stu Leonard's, you can find all that and so, so much more.
00:09I grew up going to the original location in Norwalk, Connecticut, but my love for it goes
00:12beyond nostalgia. Stu's is laid out sort of like an Ikea. Instead of walking through aisles, you
00:17mosey along a path that takes you through the whole store. And along the way, you'll find
00:21freshly baked bagels, handmade mozzarella, bounties of produce, meat and seafood at a
00:26surprisingly affordable price, a massive hot bar, tons of samples, and a lot, a lot of
00:33animatronics. The best part is, if you spend more than $100 on groceries, you get a voucher
00:38for a free ice cream cone, which can be conveniently acquired at the exit. Stu's is my happy place,
00:43and I'm positive that if you visited, it'd be yours too.
