The Isinglass Country Store in Strafford, NH.

This gas station/ store on Rollercoaster Rd in Strafford is one of the best run little country stores in southern NH, at least in my opinion. It’s not a fancy dolled up tourist trap  the likes of some down on RT. 125, it’s a store that supplies the needs of locals and visitors to Strafford. I have been hunting up there for close to 17 years and anytime I am in the area I always make a stop there to get one of their great deli subs. In fact I no longer pack lunches on outings to the woods, it’s cheap, easy, and convenient to just drive over there and pig out for short money. Without doubt the deli puts out the biggest sandwiches I have seen anywhere. They’re like the ones you see on those food shows on TV. Customer service is fast and friendly as well. Strafford is a small town next to Bow Lake in Southern New Hampshire. It’s a great place for hunting, fishing, fall leaf peeping, or a great country drive. Check it out.

I pulled in there yesterday and found the place locked tight, and all stuff removed from the shelves. After asking around I learned that apparently it was a bank foreclosure. I also gathered that the owners were not at all happy with the situation. Lets hope they can get the store back and all those put out of work come back and continue the good service they have provided in the past.  Saturday was a Hungary day for me.

What a shame.
