It was constructed in 2011 with all the bells and whistles of a modern MB, and it spans around 80,000 square feet -- a more standard footprint for the chain than the tiny one in Concord of just a quarter of that size.

The original store was around 18,000 square feet, and the expansion brought it to around 34,000 square feet. A&P stayed here, with Sav-A-Center signage intact, up through the chain's bankruptcy. Key Food bought this store in the auction, and cut the sales floor back to about 20,000 square feet, open...

  The Market Report is moving into southern-central New Hampshire, with a look at the areas surrounding Manchester, Hillsborough, and Keene! Once again, this isn't an area I have a lot of coverage of, so it'll be rather brief. We begin in Hooksett, just north of Manchester, then make stops in Manchester and Bedford. From there, we'll head west via Hillsborough to Keene. Come back on Monday for a look at our first store!
