Temple Food Mart was founded by Arthur Skiathitis, Sr. several decades ago and is located at 121 Baker Street in Manchester. Years after opening the grocery business, he married Julienne Fleurinda Thibodeau. As the decades moved onward, Julienne became sort of a Matriarch at the store. She was known as "Mrs. Maple" at a local Dunkin Donuts she would frequently go to, for her Frenchness and love of Maple.
The month of August is bittersweet, as Julienne was born and also passed away during this month. A small carvout in the store memorializing her spirit and good nature is "Julienne's Maple Nook." Please try some great NH Made Maple products this fall and winter. This year marks the 86th Anniversary since the stores' original opening. Help make this an even greater 8th year for the store since reopening in 2017. Thank you in advance.
