At the dawn of the 21st century, Rutter’s welcomed a third generation of family leadership to assume day-to-day management responsibilities. Three cousins each serve as president of a different Rutter’s company: Scott Hartman at Rutter’s Farm Stores, Todd Rutter at Rutter’s Dairy, and Tim Rutter at M&G Realty, a real estate holding company.

They have adhered to the same set of corporate principles and values that have served Rutter’s so well through nine decades of family ownership. At the same time, they have embraced change to meet the needs of today’s customers and built on Rutter’s legacy of community involvement with a focus on the needs of children.

Rutter’s Dairy serves customers in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and Washington, D.C. Rutter’s bright red trucks with yellow lettering are a common sight, reflecting the dairy’s prominence throughout the region.

Rutter’s Farm Stores has grown into a force within the convenience industry. Rutter’s sells more than 100 million gallons of motor fuels in its markets. A typical new store averages 5,300 square feet.

Proud of its heritage and the opportunities handed down to it, the third generation boldly steers Rutter’s through the new millennium.
