Is Hannaford Coming to Exeter?

The Exeter Stop & Shop closed for good earlier this month, and the site is now up for lease through KeyPoint Partners.

There's rampant speculation about what could replace the grocery store.

We asked Hannaford spokesman Eric Bloom if that grocery chain had any interest in the site. Here's what he had to say:

"I'm afraid that we don't have any announcements or anything that is happening there.

"We're always looking for new opportunities to serve customers, but certainly would not talk about any particular communities in which we're not already operating one way or another."
