N. Conway site readied for Market Basket

Keith Wehmeyer, the project manager for Settlers Green, stands Monday at the site being cleared for a new Market Basket.

Burke of Intervale is clearing the 6 acres, but a Market Basket team will build the actual store.

Bellevue Properties, owners of the North Conway Grand Hotel, delayed the project for years, filing suits claiming that traffic and road maintenance issues would impact their business.

He said it will take between 60 and 90 days before they are able to put the new road in.

“The last thing before the Market Basket opens up, is we have to put the roundabout in,” said Barsamian.

The case went all the way to the Supreme Court and the high court in August affirmed Superior Court Judge Amy Ignatius’ decision in favor of the Town of Conway.

Market Basket itself, said Barsamian, hasn’t determined when it wants to open up.

Market Basket is a family-owned company started in 1954 by the DeMoulas brothers.
