Grocery Stores near Meredith, NH

“I recently visited Hannaford and came away impressed overall. The store is clean, bright, and well laid‑out, making it easy to find what I needed without wandering endlessly. The produce section was fresh and vibrant — the strawberries I bought were sweet and juicy, and the greens looked crisp and well cared for.

The selection is strong: they carry good national brands, a decent line of local products, and some specialty items. I appreciated seeing some local dairy and baked goods mixed in alongside familiar staples.

Staff were friendly and helpful. When I asked for help finding an item, the associate went out of her way to point me in the right direction and even offered an alternative when they were out of stock.

Checkout was fairly quick, though the lines got a little long during peak hours. I also noticed that some shelf labels were missing or slightly off, and one or two “sale” items didn't seem to match what was rung up. Nothing deal‑breaking, but a little attention to detail would elevate the experience.

Overall, Hannaford is a solid grocery option — clean, pleasant, and dependable with a few minor hiccups. Worth shopping there and will return.”

“I stopped to pick up a few items, not expecting much but this store was so inviting. Nice displays of produce, flowers, just to name a few. And all fall decorations , that I wished I had a big shopping to do so I could spend more time here. A big store, with most everything you need. Clean as well which is a big plus. Glad I stopped in as this seems to be one of the nicest Hannafords around.”

“This place is by far the best supermarket in the state. The employees are all great and knowledgeable. They're fast at the register and there's always someone to help you. I drive from Concord just to go here to get groceries. Great place.”

“I had the pleasure of visiting the Laconia Shaws grocery store during Bike Week 2024, and I couldn't be more impressed. The international section is outstanding, offering a diverse array of products that cater to various tastes and culinary needs. It was a delightful surprise to find such a comprehensive selection.

The produce section is another highlight of this store. The fruits and vegetables were incredibly fresh, with a wide assortment that made it easy to find everything I needed. It's clear that they prioritize quality and variety, ensuring customers have access to the best options.

Additionally, the bakery at Laconia Shaws deserves special mention. The fresh-baked cookies were a hit—delicious and perfectly baked. The bakery's wide range of selections made every visit a treat.

One of the most pleasant aspects of our experience was the customer service. Our cashier informed us that, even though we were from out of town, there was no need for a special membership card to get the best prices—everyone is offered the same great deals. This inclusive approach made our shopping experience even better.

Overall, Laconia Shaws exceeded our expectations in every way. We ended up visiting daily during our stay and enjoyed each trip. Highly recommended!”

“My son has a birthday tomorrow and the bakery woman dropped everything to make my 1 year old a Spiderman cake. She even went the extra mile with a mask and I can't say enough about how nice she was. Thank you”

“Great little convenient store. We always go for breakfast sandwiches for $1.29. They have little hash browns and French toast sticks. Cheap and tasty. Good selection of drinks and things. Make your own coffee and iced coffee.”

“I cannot believe how good the pizza is here. It's absurdly good. The sauce, crust, and cheese are all PERFECT. The slices are good, but for a real treat, order a pizza for yourself and get it at optimal doneness and temperature. Do not believe anyone that talks shit about the pizza here. I've had pizza all over this country and it definitely makes my top 10, possibly my top 5. It's very similar to Otto pizza out of Portland, Maine (which is in my top 3). I can't believe all the whiners talking about bad customer service. They don't give Michelin stars to gas stations you guys. Give them a break. I am lactose intolerant and yet sometimes I still get this pizza for myself as a little treat and deal with the consequences. It's worth it. I am 99% confident in saying this is the best pizza one can obtain in NH. Although I haven't tried every pizza within that radius, I've tried a representative sample and this is definitely an outlier (along with Stella's Italian Kitchen in Lyme, NH which is also weirdly extremely good). I am 100% confident in saying this is the best price to goodness ratio for pizza in the entire country. 10.99 for a "small" pizza that tastes better than most pizzas available in New York City for 3x the price is an incredibly good deal. I am 10000000% confident in saying this is the best pizza that can be obtained at a gas station, period. Please never change the way you make pizza!!!!!”

“Decent grocery store location if your staying in Gilford, NH for Laconia ?️Week. They have wine, a deli, milk, essentials, etc. Would recommend but they do close early at 7 PM ⭐️”

“Plenty of options for a small market in the lakes region. Large selection of alcoholic drinks and ice cream beyond all the regular grocery store items. Prices are decent, maybe a little bit more than other local grocery stores like Hanna ford and Market Basket. If you are visiting the area, the store makes it easier to not have to go too far to get what you need.”

“This location has amazing staff who are overworked due to understaffing. It's hard for them to stock in the aisles when they are constantly running to the register to cash people out. 1 person can't do both. Find one of your unemployed friends and urge them to go help.”
