Stew Leonard
ICON HONORS HAS TAPPED Stew Leonard Jr., a world-recognized retailer, as the keynote presenter for the inaugural awards celebration on July 17, 2010, in conjunction with the Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market and Atlanta International Area Rug Market.
As president and chief executive officer of Stew Leonard's, one of the most unique family-owned and operated businesses and listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for having "the greatest sales per unit area of any single food store in the United States," Leonard will motivate and excite attending retailers, manufacturers and sales representatives with personal and company success stories.
Dubbed "The Disneyland of Dairy Stores" by The New York Times, Stew Leonard's highlights its specialty, locally produced, farm-fresh foods, with exceptional customer service, in-store entertainment and costumed characters. Since 1969, Stew Leonard's has leveraged unique business strategies and innovative ideas to engage new and returning customers.
"Stew, along with more than 2,000 team members, has created a successful chain of stores, but more importantly, a brand that is internationally-recognized," said Jeffery L. Portman Sr., Americasmart president and chief operating officer. "His accomplishments and story make him an ideal fit as keynote for the Icon Honors ceremony as he aligns with many of the companies that will be honored and sets the bar for what many hope to achieve for their stores."
Leonard will present his keynote along with a performance by iconic singer Michael McDonald and the awards presentation honoring retailers, product manufacturers and sales agencies in 18 individual categories.
