Shaw's Opened: ca. 1993 Owner: Albertsons Companies Previous Tenants: none Cooperative: none Location: 10 Benning St, West Lebanon, NH Photographed: May 22, 2025 You can tell from the fresh coat of paint on this Shaw's that it's been relatively recently renovated. Until late 2024 or early 2025, it had the fairly cheap Premium Fresh & Healthy 3.0 decor before getting a thorough if not exciting remodel finishing slightly before I visited in May 2025. The decor was replaced along with the flooring, lighting, and many of the fixtures. The grand aisle is on the left side of the 53,000 square foot store, with produce in the front part and deli in the back along with service meat and seafood.

Shaw's Opened: ca. 2000 Owner: Albertsons Companies Previous Tenants: none Cooperative: none Location: 1400 Lakeshore Dr, Gilford, NH Photographed: August 16, 2025 This exterior gives us a clue as to this Shaw's history, as it's a variation on the early-00s exterior common for Shaw's. Historic aerial photos date this particular location to around 2000, likely replacing an older store elsewhere in town. This store lost its pharmacy between 2018 and 2022, and until very recently had the Premium Fresh & Healthy 1.0 decor (see inside here ). A remodel just wrapped up here, though. There's a Hannaford directly across the street and a Walmart next door. These stores are all practically on the shore of the Paugus Bay, but across Gilford is the better-known Lake Winnipesaukee (which is also much larger). We have one more Shaw's to see in central NH before we move south, so come back tomorrow to visit one right near the Vermont border!
