The tax card says it is assessed, land and building, for $512,000 which is supposed to be market value. People say they recall it as a bakery in the 50's, but it was built in 1956, and it looks like it was originally a gas station, probably Esso, based on the architectural style.
I just see a lot of conflicting information when it is listed for $1,200,000. I first looked at that and thought, OH! $1200.00/month rent. Very reasonable. Then I looked again. Not so reasonable.
I guess I'm just confused.
Any old timers from Wolfeboro know what the real history is?

Actually, the current site of the Yum Yum shop was a GULF station.
Across and just up the street where Nolan's is was a MOBIL station.
Further up the hill where the Meredith Savings Bank is was a SUNOCO station.
And for those with long distance memories: Across the street from the now Hunters (which used to be an A & P) there is a small park facing the lake. That small park used to be an ESSO station (long before they renamed ESSO stations into the EXXON name).
As for what the Yum Yum property is worth? Who really knows. My only comment is that the only way to expand the property is to use the existing footprint and build up. Maybe the town will buy it and turn it into another lakeside park like the old ESSO station.
