The very first Stew Leonard's grocery store in New Jersey has opened its doors to the public.
Doors at the new 80,000 square-foot store at Paramus Park Mall opened at 8 a.m.
The location is set to feature dozens of fresh products from local farms.
The chain is also bringing more than 350 new jobs to the area at the space in the mall that was once a Sears store.
Stew Leonard Jr., the owner of the chain, held a dedication ceremony Monday evening ahead of the opening.
New Jersey-born Martha Stewart also attended the ceremony and had a cow named after her.
Stewart will be inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame later this month.
