Smiley’s is a Discount Beverage, Pizza, Subs, etc store located in Dover NH. Some people call us Dover’s “Icon” however I think the political figures in this City would disagree.
I have owned Smiley’s since 1987. For the most part I have enjoyed all of my years in business. I enjoyed most of the 1000’s of employees that I have had, I enjoy 99% of our customers and I enjoy my current sales people. Notice I said “current”. What I don’t enjoy is the never ending paperwork that is involved in owning a business. If it isn’t the Federal paperwork, it’s the State paperwork. They get pissed at me because I am so behind but let me tell you, they are so screwed up that one part of their departments don’t know what the other part is doing but that is a whole other post.
At Smiley’s we pride ourselves on customer service. We know most of our customers by their names and if we don’t know their name we know what they order. Sometimes it takes time in line because the cashier is taking the time with a customer. Don’t worry, come here often enough and we will take the time with you too. Life is too short to be in a hurry or not make a friend everyday.
We carry every brand of brew available in New Hampshire. We understand that in Maine and Mass you can obtain so many more brews but that’s because of the way our State handles approving brews to sell. Once again, that’s another post. You will find that our beer is the “freshest” available. We rotate our stock twice a week and we do inventory twice a week. There is no reason for us to carry 30 cases of something when we sell 10 a week. That creates a rotation nightmare! We try to order all of the deals available so you the customer gets the lowest price available. Sometimes this isn’t always the best way to order something. If there is a case deal of 20 cases to save $3 and we only sell 2-3 a week we will not order the deal. We feel that as a beer drinker you want the freshest, most cared for product available and will be willing to pay a couple more dollars for it. All of our beer is kept in their original packages so the light does not get to the bottles. Much of our beer is kept in a cool, dimly lit room until it is placed on display for purchase. We will also special order any brew you want as long as it’s available in New Hampshire. It only takes a week for the brew to come in, sometimes we can have it the next day! If you have never visited Smiley’s stop by, take a look around and see why so many people purchase their brew from us. Caring does make a huge difference in the selling of beer!
We also have a full service resturant. We serve Pizza, Subs, Dinners, Homemade meals, Fried Foods and so much more. When we purchased the deli we wanted to bring something other than fast food into the City of Dover. We may not have the nicest sitting area, or the most beautiful wall art but what we do have is Good wholesome food. If you purchased a sandwich here 15 years ago you will get the same bread, the same meat and the same cheese now that you did then. We do not beleive in purchasing the “cheapest” meat and cheese available for the week or month. We stick to what has been proven a success not matter how much it cost. I will say that not many resturants can say that. There is so much about the Deli that needs to be said. We feel that because of the appearance of the building people think that it’s “roadside” food or fast food. This could not be further from the truth…Please read the information about the deli and we think you will be really surprised!
That’s pretty much it. Smiley’s has been around for years. We have seen, heard and been involved in just about everything and anything you can think of. As I build this site all of that information will be here..it will make you laugh, make you cry but most of all it will help you to understand why Smiley’s is the “Place to Be”.
