Hunter's is likely for sale I would speculate as there are fewer members of the Hunter family who are healthy enough or young enough or who have the desire to run the operation than ever before. It's also an enormously valuable piece of downtown Wolfeboro real estate. The owners of Rite Aid have a vested interest in the continued stability of Hunter's operation, since they share the parking lot.
However, I doubt that Hunter's IGA would be an attractive location for a DeMoulas Market Basket type of store operation.
