Maybe it's the seasonal nature of that store, but it seems that it should be straightforward to be able to make a go of it there, unless the overhead costs are extreme. There is a captive audience with the private docks there and it is the only area within 8 miles (by boat) to go for food, ice cream, beer, snacks, burgers, etc. It also is convenient for all those islanders in the Moultonborough/Tuftonboro with a dock for boaters to come in and buy. There's also the gas pumps! The current store wasn't even using all of the facility, so there was a lot more room to put more durable goods as a convenience/attraction. If I was looking for a business I would give it a go.
