Now that it is looking like Hannaford's will be the only large store for food shopping in Meredith, I agree with those concerned about more traffic in an already busy area.
The new store is nice, but there is a problem with the narrow aisles. Remember, they had to "shoe-horn" that store into the limited space available. Even now when the store is not very busy, navigating the aisles is a challenge. On summer Fridays and Saturdays, with no other food store in town, Hannaford's will be full of shoppers who are unfamiliar with where things are in the store, jamming those narrow aisles, and slowing down the shopping process. This will lead to an overflow in the parking lot, due to the added shopping time, causing gridlock on the street from people waiting to enter the parking lot.
I think it is going to be a big mess, outside and inside.
