Unfortunately, they have not used the increase in space well--there does not seem to be more variety between value-priced products and interesting or premium products as exists at Heath's (just for example). Rather they just have more middle of the road products in a no longer quaint setting.

Store seemed loud and lighting and sound system need to be tweaked, but maybe these are things they will figure out over time. I did not know about back parking lot; front parking lot is extremely difficult to navigate if you enter at the north opening.

I will probably try again in a month, but I think I now prefer Harvest

This was my experience also, although the store is beautiful and there are many benefits, right now it has lost its home town feel. One thing I always appreciated about Hunters (when the Hunters owned it especially), was they had a wide selection of items used by people who cook. I am a "Hannaford's" shopper though, so I am glad those items are again closer than Alton or Ossipee.
I have noticed that Harvest has "upped" the selection of expensive items (such as cheeses), and I hope they continue to thrive. There is room for more than one grocery in town.
