Super Wal-Mart comes to Tilton
A Super Wal-Mart comes to Tilton. Wal-Mart is going to expand the current store in Tilton & add a food store. It's about time.....This is the first Super Wal-Mart near the Lakes Region. If this does not kill off the over priced & empty Shaw's in Tilton nothing will.

whats your point?
I could see if it was coming to Laconia. But with Market Basket right next door I do not see how it will have any effect on Shaws. Those going to Shaws with MB on the other side of exit 20 obviously do so because they want to not because they have no choice like those of us in the Laconia/Gilford area.
Walmart might save you a few bucks but I'd be more likely to trust the meat and produce products from Shaws before I trust them from Walmart Now if MB was opening a store in Laconia, that would be worth shouting about. |
So with competition now from a Super-Wally Mart will the Market Basket store lower prices even more to compete? Now this would be something to shout about alright.:D

Wow I bet FLL will be all over this
Sorry had to be the first to say something:D |

I avoid unpackaged food from WalMart, , ick! , , and now I read that perhaps their honey, which is imported, is cut with corn syrup . . . figures.

Super Wal-Mart comes to Tilton
I have a SUPER Walmart at my other home location in Mass. I buy a ton of goods there, you just can't beat the prices.
quality. However, I DO NOT shop for grocery items there. IMO, I think the quality of meats, produce and seafood at Wal-Mart, is sub-quality, compared to Market Basket and Hannaford. I don't shop Shaw's as they tend to be higher than the others. Don't think a SUPER Wal-Mart in Tilton will affect business at Shaw's or Market Basket. I think people are loyal to grocery stores, and demand better quality, Wal-Mart just doesn't deliver IMO. Up at Winnie I shop in Gilford: Hannaford or Shaw choices BD |

Take some time and make a list of you groceries and bring that list to both stores and see what you would save from one over the other. That is the only way to truely get an accurate feeling of savings from one store. By doing two different grocery shoppings, you will likely by more at one vs the other, because who really buys the exact same thing every week. Just be ready, if you are not buying anything and just writing down prices they may ask you to leave (I would suggest actually doing the groceries at MB (cause that is all they sell) and then when you go to Walmart for something else bring that same list and just write down the prices). Happens to my wife every once in a while and to the Walmart spy at MB as well. You will truely be surprised at the results, don't take my word for it, go out and do it. Just keep it the same, Name brand for Name brand or store for store. You will need to do this on the same week, as both stores adjust product pricing weekly, not on everything but some things. MB changes in POS take affect on Sunday morning every week. Good Luck and do not forget to post your results, one way or the other, does not matter. It may just help someone else out. Everyone shops differently and a savings for one person does not guarantee a savings for someone else. |
I don't think the super wally with food have passed all the local planning boards! Not done till it's done!!!!

Even if a WalMart comes in, there are very few late choices. Last week my 1 year old was in a cranky mood so i figured I will give him motrin to help him sleep. Much to my dismay, it was not in the diaper bag. No problem, I thought...there is CVS, Walgreens, Rite-Aid, WalMart and a host of others around, one must be 24-hours. After 1.5 hours I ended up buying infant tylenol for almost $10 at a 24-hour gas station. We need a more convenient store with "parent's hours"!

no late choices because
This area is tourist driven there isn’t enough customers to justify having 24 hour stores.
Why do you think you are always hearing about how things go back to normal after Labor Day weekend and all the tourists leave? Just look at how many CVS, Walgreens, Right aid etc. there are just between Gilford Shaw’s and Laconia. Don’t think you will see a 24 hour anything in this area for a long time. Not a lot of manufacturing business in this area and more leaving all the time. An increase in businesses is what will bring 24 hour stores, not tourists. |
