Lakeside Variety (formerly McGraths)

It seems that Lakeside Variety closed for good this week. The store was known as McGrath's and had been in business for 76 years, I believe.

Story in town is that it was sold to Fiddleheads Farms Marketplace in Dover, NH (http://www.fiddleheadfarmsmarket.com/) (Broken Pushcart used to be at that location in Dover.)

I find it interesting that McGraths closed because Hannafords came into Alton, but then became a 5-&-10, to then sell to a... grocery store (upscale...? maybe?)

Anyone else heard about this one?
