Corner Store/Lake Town Market
Anyone know what's going on at the Corner Store in Alton? I heard that it was being converted to a wood-fired pizza restaurant-- Any confirmation or news on that?

NOTHING will be a success at that location. " Nothing ".. In the last 30 years, nothing has been successful. I'm not saying some of the food wasn't pretty darn good, but Parking is terrible. Not enough parking, and not enough foot traffic. The Location is TERRIBLE, very visible but terrible locations. I would suggest that ALTON allows a Large Corporation come in and LEVEL IT!! Make a 7 story Hotel/Condos there with parking underneath. Retail shops and stores will not survive there. |

The difference is that Pops Clam Shell IS very successful but they rely on all the public parking (compliments of the Alton taxpayers) and have a booming business just where they are.......

They just have not found the right formula. We were there this past summer. I really wanted to find a new model that would work. Was disappointed. Sent from my iPhone using Winnipesaukee Forum mobile app

" Level it, make Condo's, create a positive cash flow for the town. You're welcome. This is where " Common Sense " should come into play. Convenience is everything to today's " Crowd " .. Walking up there is not a convenience. |
