Sorry to say that Jackson Star is in no way affiliated with Shaws..
they are privatley owned and they are now down to 3 stores from 6 , Meredith, chestnut hill and Milton mass.

Well Mike, I thought the fact that my family member has been employed for years with both Star Market & Shaws Chains did not give with your information. Well, go the the Shaws in Gilford cash out and read the sign that says "use your shaws card at star market". Just to be sure, I verified with the cashier, "including Jackson Star in Meredith, and that store is owned by Shaws" ? For which the cashier replied , "yes". Made sense if you can use a Shaws card at a Star Market. Possibly the NH stores have changed since your last informant was updated with the status.

With that being said, obviously Shaws has no sympathy on the local Meredith economy and is gouging all the customers for every penny possible with their prices. Fortunatately, convenience plays a big roll with location for weekend visitors and tourists driving by their complex as they pull into town. Of course, having the liquor store in the same complex kills two birds with one stone!

With that being said, a new chain grocery store in Meredith should at least create competition.
