Grand View Shack to Reopen This Winter

The Grandview Snack Shack on Corridor 21 in Stewartstown is set to
reopen this snowmobile season after a four-year hiatus. Under new management by a former patron, the shack will serve up hot food every Saturday beginning December 26.
The Grandview Snack Shack was originally established by Bill and Pauline Weir of Colebrook, and closed down about four years ago. Mr. Weir said since then he and his family have heard many inquiries from people interested in seeing it reopened.
Among them were Lisa Bishop of Winchendon, Mass., a frequent visitor to the North Country. She and her boyfriend of many years, Jay
Jalbert, own a camp together in Stewartstown. Lisa missed the Grandview Snack Shack in her snowmobiling travels, and decided this past year that she wanted to be the catalyst in its revival.
She works as a hot dog vendor during the summer, and says this will be her winter job. If business picks up she may consider additional hours, but to start the snack shack will be open on Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Lisa's culinary career includes school and working at Fitchburg State College as a sautÈ chef and as a cook at a nursing home.
Mr. Weir said Ms. Bishop came to see him earlier this summer, and having reached an agreement she gave the place a fresh coat of a paint and installed a safety railing. "Maybe it will work out great for the both of us, and for the snowmobilers of the North Country," he said.
