Six Surprising Takeaways From The 2012 NH Business Outlook Survey

Can Bull Moose Survive Where Borders Couldn’t?

In an earlier version of this post, our photo caption described Portland, Maine as Bull Moose’s “original stomping grounds.”  The company actually opened its first store in Brunswick, Maine.  We regret the error.  The fate of prime strip mall real estate in New England might not be sealed just yet.  The hallowed halls of Borders Books stores aren’t […]
