I agree with McDude, this place is fun.

We spoke with lot's of the folks that work there. It seems they are a co-op. Each department has different owners, Cheese, Bakery, Fresh Meat, Deli that makes sandwiches, (Boars Head !) and a fantastic Fresh Fish provider.

The vegetables were awesome, asparagus $.99 per pound! 1lb strawberry's $.99. Get this Farm Fresh Jumbo Eggs... $.99 per dozen!

The cheese shop is called The Butlers Pantry, www.butlers-pantry.com, run by a very nice lady, Margaret Smith, The Meat House , www.themeathouse.com, is run by Erik Holt (GM), he was giving out a small take home sample of his steak tips. ( I'll report back later tonight!) They also had a great selection of Dry Aged beef, Top End selection of all meats and Fresh grilling sausage. The bakery is Abigail's Bakery www.abigailsbakery.com. all fresh made and made in NH.

The fresh fish is amazing, Fresh Halibut.. not previously frozen! Wide selection of local and shipped in fresh fish. They also have lobsters.

As the local produce becomes available, they will feature locally grown produce.

I really got a kick out of the names of some of the locally brewed beers and stouts from Manchester Brewing. Check out the names of some of their beers at their website. http://manchesterbrewing.com/beers.

This place is a great addition to the Lakes region!
