2021 UPDATE: 

Stew Leonard's 2020 Stew's Tank competition was put on hold due to Covid-19.  If you're a vendor based in New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut and have a product that would make our customers say WOW, then we'd love to consider it for our next round of Stew's Tank!  Please give us your name, email address, and a few lines about your product.  Our buyers will be in touch with you once our next competition kicks off.

This is the second Stew’s Tank competition run by Stew Leonard’s. The inaugural competition was launched in New York in the spring of 2019 and resulted in four new products that are produced in the Empire State and currently sold at Stew Leonard’s: Bacaro Original Foods Eggplant Meatballs (Massapequa Park), Halesite Habanero Hot Sauce (Halesite), Kitu Super Coffee (New York City) and The Famous Meatballers (Wantaugh). However, the company has a long history of supporting new and innovative food producers.

Stew’s Tank will provide the opportunity for locally-based New York, New Jersey or Connecticut food companies to present their products directly to the Stew Leonard’s Buying Team and earn the chance to be sold at all seven Stew Leonard’s locations.

What state is your company located?
Describe your product in 3 words
What makes your product unique?
What is the retail price?

A panel of judges will evaluate entrants based on several factors including sales, customer feedback, pricing and company history. Final winners will be selected and will be rewarded with space on the shelves of all seven Stew Leonard’s stores.

New Product Contest
OFFICIAL CONTEST RULES
________________________________________
Stew Leonard’s is looking for the next hot products – and through our  Stew’s Tank competition, customers will decide which items makes it to our shelves!
Just like the guys on that other Tank show, Stew Leonard’s buyers are always on the lookout for what will be the next big thing in food. But unlike other grocery stores, Stew Leonard’s doesn’t accept slotting fees– which means that the products on our shelves are there because our customers love them and not because a big brand has paid Stew Leonard’s to put them there.

Stew’s Tank will provide the opportunity for locally-based New York food companies to present their product directly to Stew Leonard’s Buying Team and earn the chance to be sold at Stew Leonard’s stores.
NO PURCHASE OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. MAKING A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW.
Entry into this Contest constitutes your acceptance of these Official Rules.
