The agreement to supply DoughBoys to the well-known store chain, has sparked the need for Esperanto to expand.<\/p>\n<p>Esperanto has been working non-stop to keep up with the new demand, and owner Will Pouch is pleased to make as many doughboys as their fans desire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople love them, and we are happy to make them,\u201d said Pouch.<\/p>\n<p>Pouch said he was thinking about approaching Stewart\u2019s, but they came to him first with the idea of making DoughBoys available for a quick \u201cgrab and go\u201d type food item at their stores. They started off in a Saratoga store in late October, where they sold immediately. They are now being sold at 23 different Stewart\u2019s shops across the Capital District, with additional locations in college towns like Plattsburgh and Potsdam.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have always found a huge success with college kids, so it made sense to go to those areas,\u201d said Pouch.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Chris Biddle, co-manager of Esperanto\u2019s, said Stewart\u2019s is reporting back to them that many people are grabbing them with their coffee in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are grabbing two, three, even four, for breakfast in the morning. We are reaching a population that is on their way to work. We are hearing that high school kids stop in to eat them as well,\u201d said Biddle.<\/p>\n<p>Jeff Vigliotta, Stewart\u2019s Shops Corp. marketing coordinator, said with both businesses being based in Saratoga Springs, it has been a successful partnership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLogistically, it was an easy for Esperanto to deliver their product to our distribution center in Greenfield. We then can ship the product to our shops on our own trucks, which makes it easier on shop partners to order product. We do enjoy working with local companies and we are fortunate that we can test items in select shops,\u201d said Vigliotta.<\/p>\n<p>Vigliotta said the response has been very positive, with many patrons familiar with doughboys already.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is another easy food option for our customers at Stewart\u2019s,\u201d said Vigliotta.<\/p>\n<p>In early February, Vigliotta said Stewart\u2019s started adding DoughBoys at more stores, expanding into the Capital District and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOverall, we are happy with our arrangement with Esperanto\u2019s and are glad that we can work with other local businesses that are a win-win situation for both parties, \u201csaid Vigliotta.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStewart\u2019s has been amazing and this has exceeded my expectations, \u201csaid Pouch.<\/p>\n<p>Pouch said they are also working with three Jiffy Mart stores in Troy, where again, the response from customers has been very positive.<\/p>\n<p>Pouch said they are in the process of putting together plans for a USDA approved baking facility where they can bake, store and ship DoughBoys. The facility would support their plans to keep up with current consumer demand, as well as future plans to sell at more locations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople go nuts over these things. It\u2019s time to go into wider markets,\u201d said Pouch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jennifer Farnsworth Esperanto, a restaurant on Caroline Street in Saratoga Springs, has for years made the DoughBoy, a popular quick-grab snack, a feature of its varied menu.
