[Mee-n-Mac]

I'll say it before "Mee" gets a chance ... McGraths did it to themselves. They may be the nicest people on the planet but their store was subpar. I've lost count of the number of times we've gone there and not been able to get some staple item because it was out of stock. Eventually we found it better to go to the Citgo on the circle to get our minor shopping done, major shopping went to the Hannafords in Gilford. Heck, I think the Citgo could have put McGraths out of business if they wanted to. They're would have been no desire, no opportunity for a Hannafords to build in Alton if McGraths had provided more. Now it'll be interesting to see if Hannafords can keep up their standards given the seasonal nature of the business in Alton.
