Star Market is a big concern. This was no mom & pop store. Jackson Star had another store in Gilford that had the same high prices. That's the business model this owner chose to use. He put the screws to people in the Gilford area for years until Hannaford came in and ran hin out like they just ran him out of Meredith.
