CONWAY — After nine years of ownership, Bryant and Patti Alden of Chef's Market executed the final step of their “10-year plan” and recently sold their highly successful North Conway Village business to Christopher Bellis and Eddie Benneti, owners of the nearby Cranmore Inn.
The new owners opened the newly-expanded Chef's Market Bistro Dec. 10.
