If you build it, they will come...
Why is there going to be a traffic problem at Hannafords? Because people want to shop there. It is a very good store and they don't charge "tourist prices". At least not yet.
We live on Moultonborough neck and a drive to the food store is always a long trip. Yea, Heaths is fun but there is a price for it. When you have to buy chow for the family, I mean real groceries, you need a high volume store.
Hannaford's gives us that.
If there is a traffic problem, and I know there will be one, it is because they are a providing a service that people want better than the previous store.
Typically we do a major food loadout in Tilton. Fill the freezer and the root celler and try to only buy milk and bread at the tourist traps. Sometimes we have to buy our groceries locally. Then we use our plan...
Our plan is to shop there and take a right by the movie house. Then we can take a right at the Meridith lights (maybe stop at NAPA for some cool stuff) and then take 25-B to Center Harbor.
I feel that Hanniford's is a good addition to the town.
