Holy Crap! Wegmans!
May. 8th, 2004 02:10 pmI finally went out to the Wegman's that opened up a little while back. Folks at work have been raving about the place and, since it's not far away, I thought I'd swing by there. I was expecting either a fancy overpriced Whole Foods-like place, or some warehouse-y Costco place.
Bout all I can say is: wow! The place is huge, and has tons 'n tons of stuff in it. The prices are comparable, and in many cases even less, than the other groceries around here. Admittedly, for pure convenience, I'll still prolly be going to the Giant that's closer, but for 'real' grocery trips it's gonna be Wegman's. The produce section has a lot of unusual stuff in it. (never seen ugli fruit in any of the other groceries here) and the deli section is incredible. There's just plain tons of stuff in the place. I can see why people around here love the store. How can you not like a store with a big plush cow who nods her head? Good thing she's in the back of the store with the dairy stuff, telling us yogurt is 3 for a dollar. Otherwise I'm sure some plushophile would steal her. Her tail end is pretty much at the right height for..those things.
On a related note, it's so danged nice to now be living in a place where the groceries can sell alcohol. While the selection of wines at them is kind of limited (except for at Wegman's!) it is convenient to be able to pick up some beer without making a trip to a beer/wine store.
