Corner Deli-Gilford, Walter's Market-Laconia, Adams Marina-Winnisquam, Campton Falls Market-Campton, Freudenberg NOK-Laconia......have all closed up lately.

Freudenberg NOK-Laconia employed 130 making iso-elastic parts for cars & trucks, and the factory now has a 'for sale' sign at the entrance. They also closed up their Franklin plant and have kept the Ashland and Bristol plants open.

There must be about eight different vacant storefronts on Main St, Laconia with 'for rent' signs including the very large former space that was Bloom's variety. Interesting that both CVS and Walgreens chose to build new stand-alone stores very close by instead of just moving into the large vacant space formerly occupied by Blooms.

In Ashland, a real estate office and Grant's 5&10 moved out over two years ago and their retail Main St former space is still vacant.

The retail space in Meredith between City Sports and Hannaford's is still vacant since about Jamuary 1.

Any other local, outta biz businesses out there that I missed besides the Jackson Star in Meredith?
