The Boothbay Harbor Hannaford Supermarket will host a grand reopening celebration on Saturday, June 13 beginning at 7 a.m. to recognize the completion of a project that introduced hundreds of additional items to the store and improved the shopping experience for customers.

The project added a second entrance to the store and provides a fresh, new look to the supermarket. Nearly 700 new items, including many additional natural and organic products, are now available.

"Many customers have told us they appreciate both the increased variety of products and the renovations that have made the Boothbay Harbor Hannaford an even nicer place to shop," said acting Store Manager Susan McCullough. "We appreciate our customers' patience during the renovation process and hope everyone will join us on June 13 to celebrate all the improvements."

Gift cards (randomly valued between $5 and $250) will be given to the first 300 customers and there will be free sampling of local products as well as other activities.

The Boothbay Harbor Region Chamber of Commerce recently honored the store with the organization's annual Business Improvement Award for the project and for the contributions the Boothbay Harbor Hannaford provides to the region's residents and economy.
