The Bend at Sugar River – a fine food deli, was conceived by two full
time Sunapee residents - Annie and Chris - partners in business, life and
love. A lovely spot along the Sugar River in the Lower Village in the
town of Sunapee seemed just right for a fun and vital enterprise. Our
deli joins a handful of other businesses in Sunapee welcoming both
residents and tourists throughout the year.

The Sunapee community has given so much to Annie and Chris and
their families over many years and they wish to give back to support the
health and vitality of the community with three workforce housing units
and an attractive, family friendly deli. The deli is situated on a bend of
the historic Sugar River, which supported nine manufacturing mills in
the 19th and early 20th centuries. The couple hopes to contribute to and
showcase the assets, the history and vitality of the Lower Village.

The deli seeks to honor the beauty and charm of the river as it winds its
way along Main Street. By leaving the riverbank intact and allowing the
natural path and contours of the Sugar River to remain and by preserving
the habitat for the local fauna (e.g., retaining decaying tree trunks for
bird nesting), the deli setting is tranquil and inviting.

We believe strongly in investing in our team with living wages, excellent
benefits, and nurturing working conditions and hope to retain their talent
for many years in providing our customers with a strong sense of
community, warmth on a chilly day, delicious food, and a peaceful
environment. 

While we are new business owners in the Sunapee community, we
intend to partner with local businesses and public agencies to support the
Sunapee community in whatever ways that we can.
