New stores move into Hanover area

Seeking to fill a niche in the market created by Dartmouth students, several establishments have recently set up shop in the Hanover area. Two new stores, Mind Games and Ramunto's Pizza, have expanded shopping choices in the Upper Valley. Mind Games, a gaming boutique located above the Dartmouth Co-Op on South Main Street, opened at the beginning of Fall term. The store, which specializes in family board games and exotic chess sets, entered the Hanover market hoping to capitalize on the recreational needs of the area's residents and students, store manager Cameron Cudhea said. "We are basically trying to fill a niche that needs to be filled," Cudhea said.
