There's a new business on Hampton Beach.

Beach View Market opened last month at 101 Ocean Boulevard, downstairs from the Beach View Inn. The market is owned and operated by Chuck Bellemore, who has run the inn upstairs for eight summers now.

The space formerly housed S & S Groceries (whose sign is still up), and when it closed, Bellemore decided to open up another market to serve Beach View Inn customers and other beach visitors.

"We put about $10,000 into the store," he said of the renovations, which included bringing things up to code, putting in new electric systems and ceilings and adding a F'real self serve smoothie and milkshake machine. "We just opened it up a little more."

The store also offers coffee and breakfast and lunch sandwiches for hungry beachgoers.
