Hannafords Opening

Wondering why Starbucks ...we have four or five Starbucks right in my part of the city here (never mind all the rest)..two (in Target and in Barnes & Noble) are just yards from one another...and both doing just fine, so I know how popular they are...but, do I wish just one could be traded for a Dunkin' Donuts. I guess it is all in what we are used to...this New Englander misses that French Vanilla D.D. coffee and those donuts.

Don't get me wrong...I love Starbucks but anything that would hurt the "Village Perk" or "Winnipesaukee Bay Gull" would bother me. The intrusion of big name franchises will only go to dilute the character of the area. Hannafords is a necessity for us full timers. Jackson has outrageous prices and Heath's has it's own niche, but not as a market for everyday. Right now our major shopping is at Market Basket in Tilton.
