Wegman's is fantastic! We live in upstate NY and Wegman's is by far the best supermarket in town. Their produce is excellent, always fresh and high-quality, including an organic section. Their bakery is super and their prepared foods are delicious. When my husband and I retired, we considered moving closer to my daughter in CT. He refused, citing the absence of Wegman's as one reason for staying put. My daughter told me a Wegman's is coming to White Plains, NY which is only 15-20 minutes from her home. She is SO excited!

 

By the way, as far as I know, Wegman's is a privately held company, owned by the Wegman family. They are not owned by an Engulf-and-Devour-(à la Mel Brooks) type mega-company.

We have one in Syracuse and I love it. They are expanding this yr. to add on two restaurants and serving wine. I went to one in PA and they have two very nice restaurants and they post a sign NO tipping.

Not yet, but it was just announced one is coming!  I am originally from Rochester, New York, where the store started.  I worked as a gourmet cheese sampler  - my first job when I was in high school!  I do love the store and the variety but I find the size quite overwhelming.  I will not be shopping there as my weekly store, more like a field trip for me!
