New Rest Areas Planned in Hooksett

ishoot308 · 10-26-2013, 02:39 PM

I personally think it's a win / win situation for both the state of NH and the Common Man. The Common Man is a good restaurant and very well run establishment. It certainly a hell of a lot better than having a Burger King or Mcdonalds there!

It will be very handy to have the gas stations there as well! Most Irving stations are well run and very clean!

I think this a great decision in a perfect location and will be a very successful endeavor.

I agree Dan. I don't get the worries that it will cost the state a ton of money. As of right now, the only money they are making there is liquor and lottery sales. When the new rest area is done, they will still make that money (maybe more), and will make more as a % of the sales in the restaurants/fuel.

Not to mention the fact that these will be about 3 miles from my house, and will give me a new dining option. Meal prices will determine how often I go there, but at least it is something.

Won't you have to pay a toll to get there

Negative. There is non-highway access to both NB and SB rest areas. There are gates so that you cannot get on the highway from there.

Is this where the current large liquor store is on both sides of 93?
