Center Harbor Provision

Visited the sandwich shop.

Sorry folks. But it ain't gonna happen. As I mentioned before these flatlanders spent way too much money making the place look pretty.

Prices are high. Local contractors - the bread and butter of any sandwich shop just will continue to use Murphy's and Subway.

The pretty quazi wooden floor has buckled. Leaking water from one of the coolers. Condensation dripping on a "wood" floor. Whose brilliant idea was it to put a wood floor in a high traffic area? Again, it shows that there was no business plan.

I met the out of state lady that purchased the old Sandwich Country Store. Closed now. Gone.

I met the people that purchased the North Sandwich store. Closed and gone now.

I met the owner (two attempts over the decades) of the two sandwich shops located at the Nichols building. Both closed and gone now.

I met the owner of the pizza/sandwich shop located in one of the Kayak buildings. Gone now closed.

As I stated before, this Center Harbor sandwich shop should have kept the Lee Ulm building as is. Create a good sandwich at a good value. And saved themselves a lot of money.

All should have had a business plan and all should have done a needs study. Didn't and gone now.

Sad. as all were nice folks with good intentions.

Wish they hadn't built the false front (façade)
Don't see why it was necessary and it took away the lake view from the 1st floor of Lavinia's

For 2.39 plus 9%tx, $2.61-total; Heath's Super-Duper which is very close by, has a breakfast sandwich choice of English muffin or bagel with cheese, eggs, and bacon, ham, or sausage ...... all very well prepared......with highest quality materials....piled up high and thick and deep.....a good faith, healthy breakfast sandwich all loaded with the good stuff and created by someone who does a super-duper job.

Choice of five different Vermont coffee roaster cup of coffee......totally free in an el cheapo styrofoam cup, or you can upgrade to a luxurious, high quality 12-oz plain paper cup for 50-cents & 9% tx of 4-cents = 54-cents.

Starting every day, they make about ten breakfast sandwiches so's they are all ready to go, and you just gently remove one from its' home spot ...... no waiting!

Is pretty tough to beat that? Who knows .....maybe 850-calories? Every day is a sunny day at Heath's!

Anyone try the 4.59 qts of Brigham's ice cream.....which are less sweet....and more creamy?

WAY too many carbs/calories, FLL. Eat healthy.

SIA, maybe they liked westerns (movies) ?

tried it last week, food was okay. It definitely does not seem to fit in around here. At least not with locals. Reminds me of a place you find in Stowe Vermont. I think it will be more popular with the out of state crowd.
