When the newest MOMS — Motorcycles Of Manchester — dealership opens in New Hampshire later this spring, the store will be sharing the love with a local landmark. The MOMS Jericho Super Center will carry multiple brands of powersports vehicles ranging from ATVs to snowmobiles and select watercraft. Each line will be complemented by a selection of accessories, branded apparel and parts. A full team of factory certified MOMS technicians will be on board as well.
The MOMS Jericho Super Center will also offer outdoor recreation equipment and apparel. Since the new store is located near Jericho Mountain State Park, the Appalachian Trail Junction, and several more parks and public recreation areas, MOMS is developing land it has acquired near the store into trailhead parking areas. Off-road riders and snowmobilers will be able to leave their vehicles and trailers at the trailheads while enjoying the area’s vast off-road trail networks. The trailhead areas will feature a variety of facilities such as warming shelters, rest rooms, and more.
But it is inside the dealership itself where the Old Man Of The Mountain will be found. For more than a century, The Old Man of the Mountain was the most enduring symbol of New Hampshire. The Great Stone Face was perched atop Cannon Mountain, a set of five granite cliff edges formed the distinctive profile of a man. Sadly, it collapsed in May 2003, when the rock formations finally succumbed to time, stress and wear.
A team of artists and builders is recreating the Great Stone Face inside the MOMS Jericho Super Center. It will top a “mountain” that will serve as a display platform for several vehicles. It will be positioned in a welcoming, spacious area ideal for photo ops, making the store a must-stop destination for all tourists.
The 61,000-sq.ft. facility — housed in a former Shaw’s grocery store — is slated for its grand opening May 25, 2024. The region’s largest, most unique full-service powersports superstore is located at:
453 Main St. (SR 16)
Gorham, NH 03581
