Today is opening day I think...Saturday Nov 15. What the new Meredith Hannaford's has in spades is VISIBILITY...huge curb appeal as viewed from a passing car on route 25..what with the building design, location and bright red lighted signs.

It has a lot better visibiliy as seen from the road than any other Hannaford such as Alton, Plymouth, Gilford. People buy with their eyes....visibility is a big deal in retail.

According to Wikipedia, Hannaford's is owned by a Belgium company called The Delhaize Group and its' Delhaize America subsidiary. In 2000, Delhaize purchased 'Shop & Save' and changed its' name to Hannaford's which originated from a Portland Maine food store in the 1880's.

So, I believe Dunkin Donuts is an English company, and Hannaford's is Belgian.

E M Heath super market and hardware store are probably locally owned and are definately worth the five mile drive from Meredith.
