CONWAY — Construction of a Market Basket supermarket is getting underway, with Rob Barsamian, Settlers Green principal and developer, saying the on-site contractor is moving “full steam ahead” on the long-delayed project.
The general contractor is Gordon T. Burke & Sons Inc. of Intervale, which is the same company that built Settlers Streetside.

One only needs to see Shaws employees shopping at Hannaford and Hannaford employees shopping at WalMart to understand why we need a fourth supermarket.
Look at store brand milk prices, Shaws charges $1.30 more for their 1 gal of milk vs Walmart.
That’s just one basic item, 35% more!
Shouldn’t the second largest grocery store chain Albertsons, who owns Shaws, be able to offer the lowest prices?
Instead what we have is a grocery store who markets to people from MA who shop at Shaws because they are familiar with the store.
I would not be surprised to see Shaws exit North Conway shortly after Market Basket opens.
