New Store on Daniel Webster in Belmont?

Wood Chopper · 03-12-2010, 11:56 AM

Pretty sure it's a family restaurant. Ice cream bar and walk up window. Help yourself ordering system, various types of seating (booths, high tops, outdoor). Breakfast bar and casual seating around a fire place. There is a drive-thu. Don't know anything about a gas station.

Like the old Pondarosa? Bonanza? Something like that.

I saw the floor plans.

I do know this, it's one ugly building.

With all the empty buildings around why build a new one?
Seems they come and they go with frequency up here. Maybe we should have a pool on how long it lasts, like ice out.
All the jobs with the exception of tourism related ones have gone making it hard to survive in this area.
Business thrives in the summer but drops off dramatically after September.
Maybe if NH promoted manufacturing like they do tourism things might be more stable in the lakes region.

I don't know what would make someone think that a gas station would be put in there, they would have had to put the tanks in before anything else was done on the property and plus they didn't present that in their plans when they went before the Planning Board.

I actually talked to the developer, he said they plan on having a restaurant in the building (which is one of two buildings being planned for the site). He mentioned it wasn't going to be a franchise. They plan on building in phases...The first phase calls for a 4,100-square-foot building that will have a privately owned dine-in and drive-through restaurant which will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. The other buildings will be for retail and I believe a bank...
