Stopped by this morning. Said thanks and my goodbyes. No bargains to be had as all the good stuff was sold to the buyer.

Aubuchons in Meredith

in speaking with them on Monday the 3rd
the new owner is leasing the building to ACE hardware corporate (not a franchiser), and will be a ACE superstore style.

Called it! Have seen it play out twice in Mass over the past few years. Mom and Pop shops being purchased and ACE walks in. Explains no inventory sell off. Should be a fine addition to the area

I’m sure the new Ace will continue to supply propane.

Mom and pop hardware (might have eventually been an ACE franchise) was replaced by Aubuchon in Bristol (Newfound Lake). It was definitely an upgrade. Nicely stocked, clean, organized, good parking and prices not outrageous. Saved me from lots of longer trips to HomeDepot. No Zucchini chocolate chip banana bread though. Oh and they "request" you wear masks

Same side between DD and T-Bones. They fill propane. Huge propane distribution in back.

ACE corporate will not be leasing the Trustworthy building from the new property owner. It will most likely be an ACE Store owned locally. ACE stores are not franchises but members as ACE is a cooperative that is owned by it`s members.

That is what I said, and I was corrected by a Trustworthy employee, said it was directly with ACE corporate. Just going off what I was told.

No worries. I have more inside information, that`s all.

Winni boaters can access a dock to get to the shop when it opens. It's kinda rickety, but worked fine for our 26 footer.

Right next door at Amerigas? I thought they filled onsite (as well as trucking to your larger tanks)

Amerigas-Laconia has been closed, door locked, no access, no one there for five months now, due to the coronavirus. To get a propane delivery, you send them an email to www.amerigas.com, America's largest propane company.
