A Home Depot in each Tilton and Concord; a new Lowe's about to open in Tilton. Forgive me for asking, but why open another Lowe's, as Phoenix asked, so close to another? While it may be more convenient for those in Meredith, Alton, Gilford and Laconia -- everyone else is probably closer to Tilton or Concord. Folks from the northern side of the lake can just as easily travel to Tilton as to Gilford.

But then again, my husband and I live in Gilford and buy all groceries at Market Basket in Tilton -- we refuse to shop at Shaw's or Hannaford in Gilford unless an emergency...the prices in off-season are high enough, but in the summer the prices are ridiculously high. The prices are MUCH less at MB year-round and quite worth the extra 10 miles each way.
