I thought that was supposed to be a dollar store a while back, then the chains merged.

Honestly this is similar to people who are anti-uber. get a life. if DG is unsupported by the local population it will FAIL. Otherwise, they deserve and the people of Moultonboro deserve that they compete.

Get a life? So someone who doesn't want to see their community destroyed by chains and/or businesses that don't fit the culture (see Walmart destroying small-town Vermont or building on cemetery grounds) or who are against a company whose background checks miss criminals (August, 2015) don't have lives?

Like Mom and Pop places even run background checks. And you cannot cite a date, you name the source.

Explain how Dunkin Donuts ruined your life again?

Very simple - if they open don't go there and if enough people follow suit they will close. If they don't follow zoning laws they cannot open. Rules are rules, you don't get to pick and choose who the rules apply to.

There is a lot wrong with this statement. If someone bought lakefront property then it is THEIRS, not everybody else s. If they bought a bigger boat, then it is THEIR monthly payment, not YOURS, The only ones with a bigger say are the ones that make the most noise (and I'm NOT pointing anyone out)

I think his post was made in jest

Not thrilled with DD, either--would much rather places like The Cup and Crumb. And of course I can cite a date--use your Google skills and search "August Uber background checks," and you'll find all the sources you need. Sorry I assumed you know how to find information.

You should first provide the information to google before you post a derogatory remark about someones computer search skills!! - criminal background check August 2015 is not quite enough info.

The comment I responded to referred to Uber. I guess I take too much for granted here.

Completely extraneous, Uber and background checks have nothing to do with a dollar store. Nor do pawn shops and bail bondsmen (where is there one of those again?).

Again, laws and rules are laws and rules, you live within them. You don't have to like it, and you don't have to patronize.

I hope they don't get permission, but if they do it's not the end of the world.

Wolfeboro's new Rite Aid "retired" two locally-owned pharmacy businesses downtown. A family pharmacy replaced those two as competitors, but you have to drive to that new store. For me, "downtown" has moved—where I meet-up again with old friends.

Wolfeboro once had a Ben Franklin store—which I recall, was received by Wolfeboro residents without complaint. Ben Franklin stores' originator collected other "Dollar" franchises and became Dollar Tree. (Among 4000 other outlets).

Speaking of batteries, they carry a "low-draw" application, for seasonal smoke detectors (2 @ $1) and seasonally-used clocks. (4 @ $1). At one time, you could buy as many solar-powered pathway lamps as you wanted for $1 each. (Peek inside, and you'll see a rechargeable battery).

At a time with 94 million Americans not working, shunning Dollar Stores in "vacation" regions seems misdirected.

In November 2010, Dollar Tree announced that it had acquired 86 Canadian Dollar Giant Stores based in Vancouver, British Columbia. The stores are operated in British Columbia, Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan. These are the first retail locations outside of the United States operated by Dollar Tree.[15]

Canada has Dollar stores. 'Seems like we could do the same, eh?

I've been only once to Wolfeboro's Dunkin Donuts , but Dunkin Donuts found me. Did you know they provide "recyclable" breakfast trays? Several were discarded along our dusty roadside during the three years a "spec-built" McMansion went up near us.

Maybe they haven't found the rest of us yet?
