With its size, the Pier 19 facility could support the stock/variety of be more of a grocery store and not solely "convenience." Given the ample parking, convenient main road location, and the added bonus of the side "take out" window for summer fare, it seems this place could serve as a destination for those who can't or don't want to make an 8-mile trek in either direction.
I would agree with you, but do you remember a few years ago, Hunter's IGA ran it for a couple of years and then stopped because it wasn't profitable enough. Still, if Skelley's can do so well in Moultonboro, it seems someone could do well there.
