Do you know anything about what's going on at the old Phu Jee location? The project is impressive. Good location for a destination restaurant of quality.

The only thing I know is what I've read on their website. They have a sign on the side of the building that they are interviewing for employment, seems like they are still a long way from opening.

Just so you're aware, it's the same group of people (and $$) that are behind the Camp Menotomy controversy.

You may be thinking Amy Grimm.
That would be the Alton location.

Thanks for the reminder about the Alton project. Forgot about that one....

The parties are intertwined on many projects.

Strange that the pictures in this "spotlight" don't look like the old Phu Gee.

Jason Drouin.
Her contractor is the Camp.

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you mean with this statement.

The reason that the name sounds like the one for the Camp Menotomy dispute is the contractor for 55 Main - Jason Drouin - is associated with that project also.

The contractor for 55 Main is Lake’s Region Design Group, which is owned by Jeremy Martin. Jeremy Martin is also the person (under an LLC) who is trying to purchase Camp Menotomy. I’ve never seen Jason Drouin’s name associated with either project.

Sorry. You are correct.
I had Jason Drouin on my mind at work today.

Martin is correct.

Yeah, we snoop around the construction site every time we're in Meredith. It seems like the site has needed an INSANE amount of expensive and time-consuming work, and I wonder if they'll recoup it. They were talking about a Nov. opening but I don't see that happening. And then it's a long time till the "summah people" come back!

Toast
 
The Toast restaurant point-of-sale money is behind it (and the other projects mentioned up-thread)... I don't think they are worried too much about recouping their money.

I was thinking about this the other day—how many, and how often, people who are seasonal come up to "check on things" and if that has any meaningful impact on business.

I know we drive to camp every month in the off-season and eat/shop while in the area.

I guess it would be determining "meaningful" for business once a month.
