Busy Corner Store
 

Can anyone tell me anything about the busy corner store after the fire in 1971?

Which one, Alton Bay or Laconia?

McGraths store burned in Alton Bay around that time it was next to Butlers Busy Corner store in Alton Bay it is Irwin marine now. The Busy Corner store in Laconia is a pocket park now, that burned not that many years ago.

We did know Dick and Linda M. who once owned the Alton Bay Busy Corner store and later I knew owner Steve M.

At one time there was a legal conflict as the store in Laconia had rights to the Busy Corner Store name.

I would guess Alton.
I remember the one in Laconia long after 1971 and don't remember any talk of a fire back then.

A Nov 10, 2016 article in the LaDaSun, "Busy Corner building razed" says the abutting CVS store & pharmacy purchased the Busy Corner property and then sold it to the City of Laconia for one dollar. CVS also donated $20,000 to Laconia to design and landscape the small, triangular lot.

"At the same time, Myers said that the city has granted the request of CVS to move its sign from the entrance to the pharmacy on Union Ave to the edge of its parking lot nearer Busy Corner."
