AFJF Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Who else has been? I made my first trip there this weekend and I was completely blown away. The only place I've ever been that I can say was better was Harrod's in London, and that place is about ten times more expensive. There is no way anyone can convince me there's a better supermarket chain in the US. Absolutely amazing. For those of you who have never had the privilege, it's a supermarket that has a food court consisting of freshly made pizza, fresh sushi, a chinese buffet, and an amazing cheese section to name a few items. I will NEVER buy food anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Here in upstate NY, we're quite familiar with Wegman's. Great stores, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pac Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 They started here in Rochester. Great stores and the owner is good to his employees. They routinely rank in the top 100 places to work in the country which for a grocery store is pretty impressive. Wegmans, trees, neighborhoods, and charm are a few reasons Rochester blows away a cesspool like Jacksonville, FL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebabyny Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Their cheese, meat, and bakery sections are all fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard King Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Wegmans is outstanding. I have never seen people get so passionate about the supermarket as folks do about this place and I have to say I am one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Mariano's, but I don't think you guys have them out east just yet. If Trader Joe's had a better meat and fish selection this discussion wouldn't even be a contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetFreak89 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 In plans to open a couple up in NJ but not close enough to me to make it regularly. I've been to one out in PA near the Sister-In-Law and the place looked amazing. Hopefully more will be opening up around here soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They built one here in Farifax about 2 years ago. Can;t go near that place n the weekend. I go late night with Mrs Crusher. I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're planning on opening one right in the center of my small hometown and it's got a war going with the townspeople. Some shady dealings between the mayor/council have come up apparently.

Lil Bit Special Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 We've had 2 open here in Massachusetts and they are beautiful stores. Sadly none of them are close enough for me to give up my local stores since their prices arent much better than Stop & Shop or Shaws and I get much better prices from Market Basket. While I get their prepared food section is amazing, i just dont frequent those often enough for it to make a difference in where I shop. But I get why people in upstate NY love it so much since its such a different shopping experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GandWFan Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Just moved to Syracuse last year, and have been shopping at the local Wegmans. I am not impressed. Their meats are tough, and 5 tjime we brought home spoiled meat. Meat dept... not good... The rest of the store is nice and clean but I bit more expensive than the other local stores. Just my experiences... fwiw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will NEVER buy food anywhere else. Whole Foods is pretty equivalent, just a bit heavier with "Organic" vibe. Wegmans is good, and the extra is nice, but for pure food shopping, Harris Teeter is my fav. For an occasional "lunch whilst food shopping", Wegmans or Whole Foods, aye.
