Thanks very much to both you and Grocer for the news!

I'm thrilled about Trader Joe's opening in the Newington Mall -- much better than in Hunter's spot, IMHO, because we have enough traffic on Main Street without Trader Joe's fans coming from every which way -- and cautiously optimistic about the new Hunter's Shop N Save.

My husband and I have never been into "one-stop" food shopping, partly because no one place can possibly have the best of everything and partly because, at least in the Lakes Region of NH, we enjoy experiencing the character -- and in some cases, the characters :-) -- of different sources. *Among our favorites are Capt. Bart's in Moultonborough for seafood; Fiddlehead Farms in Alton for cheese; and in Wolfeboro itself, for produce and locally-made treats, the weekly Farmer's Market on Clark Road and DeVylders Farm on Pleasant Valley Road, *where one time we were invited to choose our lettuce right from the ground -- can't get any fresher or more local than that. *Also in Wolfeboro, Butternuts' Sally (formerly of Hunter's) makes some great innovative dishes for takeout.

We hope to be able to continue to rely on Hunter's for most of our grocery needs.
