Haffners-Old Country Store

Yes my wife reports cars, trucks and boats getting gas. However Dunkin' is not open yet.

Be careful not to get run over in the Hannaford grocery parking lot. Keep moving in the store or someone will run up your heels with a cart.

Other than picking up my truck from the shop a little later today, I have no plans in going anywhere. I also won't be going near the lake over the next few days unless it's first thing in the morning or early evening. I don't want to deal with any of the Cap'n Boneheads over the holiday weekend.

I stopped for gas today, as reported much more room to maneuver and more pumps.

The non-ethanol was only 90 octane, I need a minimum of 91 (13:1 compression ratio). They did have 10% ethanol 93 octane so that was it.

For those with an interest (Or an addiction) Dunkin' Donuts is now open.

Yay! I was beginning to get the shakes...

Is there access to Dunkin from inside the Haffner's store or is it just the drive up?

I stopped by the other evening and it was nice to see some of the staffers I knew from the 'old' Haffner's. It looks like they've got everything up and running. I did see the queue at Dunk's drive-thru yesterday morning on my way to work, so it looks like things are back to 'normal', but with better facilities!

This place is a gold mine! We went there today for gas and to pick up a couple things and I could not believe the amount of traffic that place gets! Every pump was taken up, just about every parking space and the drive up for Dunk’s was packed! Cars and trucks just kept coming in and out the entire time I was there. I also go by there at least three weekdays a week and they are packed in the morning as well!

Oh yeah if you like chicken we bought some of their fresh made broasted chicken for lunch and it was great!

Glad to see the money they put into that place really panned out well for them!

A buddy of mine got a part time job there, says it's crazy busy all the time.

Whenever I stop by, be it morning, afternoon, or evening, it's pretty much busy.

I like the new setup and the fact that I can get 90-octane ethanol-free gas which I use for my generator (if needed), my pickup (if needed), or snowblower (not needed yet).

About the only complaint I have is that the BBQ chicken wrap is rarely available. I don't know if it's because it's so popular so it doesn't last long on the shelves or that they don't make enough for the demand. If that's the worst I can say about the place, then that's pretty good.
