With a huge Hannaford's and a Super Wal-Mart already in place in Plymouth for over ten years each that are both already under-used and somewhat empty of customers in my opinion, at least compared to similar stores in Massachusetts, then why would Market Basket want to have a store in that large former cornfield where there's not enough customers to support it?

If Market Basket builds a store in that area it will put Hannaford's and any other grocery store out of business.
Lowe's won the battle to get in that area but finally turned it down for some reason.

I don't know why they keep the Hannaford brand name. A foreign company bought them out some time ago. Hannaford doesn't know what they want for a brand name. A lot of there stuff is called "my essentials" and they sell them somewhat cheaper that other brand names. Things are still a lot more expensive then Market Basket.

Here's the Plan:...go to Plymouth Walmart and buy 5 6 pks of PBR, take them over to the Plymouth Hannaford, return them. Then take the money back to Walmart, buy a sixpack, and you would have enough left over for a Milky Way....Just never ends, does it FLL?

"The result was right for the town," said Valerie Scarborough, chair-Plymouth selectboard, who said Market Basket would mean 300 new jobs in the town as well as an increase in the town's tax base. "That will help in a town that doesn't have a lake," she said alluding to other communities in the Lakes Region which derive considerable tax revenue from lakefront property. (LaDaSun) 3/13/13

And probably, there will be shoppers from Massachusetts who get off Route 93, about two miles away at Exit 26, who get their first opportunity to take in the view of a 24-wind turbine, wind farm, high atop the used-to-be beautifull mountains in the neighboring not-so-beautifull Town of Groton from their car seats in the new Plymouth Market Basket parking lot. Another great reason to visit the town of Plymouth, NH........a nice place to go shopping at your super-market choice of either Hannaford's, Wal-Mart, or this yet-to-be built Market Basket.....but I wouldn't want to live there!

Say-hey.....with the new property tax revenue....maybe Plymouth will decide to go get some pressure treated 2x4's, and plywood, and construct a tennis ball hitting, home-made tennis backboard out on their very nice, 5-court, tennis courts at the Plymouth High School which would be similar to the backboard in Center Harbor. ...probably, easy-to-build and very usable for beginner, intermediate & advanced tennis players!!! With that in mind.....who knows....but maybe the next Serena Williams will come from Plymouth, NH?

Fll, is that right across Tenney Mtn. Highway in exactly the same spot where Lowe's was going to go? I don't know the names of the streets up there.

FYI to use those courts most towns require that you live in that town.

Tennis; both a cheap sport and a super-duper sport you can play into your 90's. In Ashland, Meredith, Center Harbor, Plymouth, and Plymouth State University, which all have hard surface, rubberized asphalt courts that are all old and worn out (exception-Meredith, excellent condition about seven years old), one plays for free.....no-charge.....just show up and play.....and there's almost always an open court available.

The backboard down at the Center Harbor courts is my fav.....and it is a home-made, 2x4 and plywood construction that is probably not too difficult to build.

For both children and adults who are just giving tennis a first try, the backboard is really good for getting started and for practice.

I was a little surprised to see the Plymouth courts do not have a tennis ball hitting backboard....and hope that Plymouth would give it some consideration.

........

As far as paying to play tennis, maybe towns could use those steel money deposit boxes like what gets used at the WMNF hiking trails, and charge ten dollars/hour or something?

In the Lakes Region, there is not too much interest in tennis, people are more interested in things like motorboats and motorcycles. Maybe what we need is motor-tennis where a machine swings the raquet for you?
