Hi Pepper........ I have to say I agree with you, it was definitely good business sense. I never had the pleasure of dining there but I remember when it was Oliver's, and even then it seemed to me the restaurant building itself was getting "lost" amongst the retail stores. To me, people seem to go to that area for the shopping "experience" and are not really there for a dining experience other than one of the fast food places to re-fuel for more shopping and grabbing the bargains. Unfortunately, the region is changing as you said, along with North Conway and other areas which used to have their own charm -- let's hope Meredith doesn't head down that route, or the Lincoln area, or any of the others which still remain relatively pristine!
