I asked the manager at Tilton MB if there are plans for expansion into Gilford. He responded with a quick "No" Just a rumor.

That property seems much to small to put in a MB... They would need to take over the whole thing I think.

I agree, but down here is some small towns in MA we have scaled back MB stores. Less selection but plenty of the popular items at the same price

Most (but maybe not all) of the newer MB's are located very close to major highways to make restocking quick and efficient. I would doubt that Gilford will make the cut because it is a long way off the major roads. We had even hear rumors of Meredith a while back, but not enough year long shopping traffic. As I said, not all fit the major road profile, but it is in their best interest. All three recent Nh stores...Tilton, Hooksett, and Plymouth all reflect that strategy. Just my two cents worth...even though we would love something more local to avoid the weekly trips to Tilton....which we do religiously !!

Where is the new MB in Plymouth? It's been awhile since I have been up there.
