bullcrap - Im here in Roch and Ive met Danny - the co is ruthless to vendors - local brands are brought in for a couple years - then the recipe is pirated and you are kicked out - To get in - the broker adds 40% and wegs adds 40% - so to remain marketable, the producers cut is minimal - in my case, my bbq sauce would have made less than .10/jar - no thanks

additionally - the prices are high end ......profits are not shared with employees.....high end walmart of the east

the co is ruthless to vendors”

You know, I was about to post a thought, really an assumption or speculation and it was this: probably better to work FOR Wegman’s rather than WITH them...and I was about to speculate that they are probably ruthless with suppliers.

Not that I have a problem with that. To get profit, you have to squeeze somewhere. Vendors are capitalists also and they can go elsewhere, too. But that was my thought: lavish foreign trips on the cheese counter folks, but I’ll bet the cheese wholesalers aren’t enjoying any of those perks. (Which makes them not so unlike Wal Mart if you think about it.....)

Will it work longterm? I don’t know. Maybe maybe not. But always interesting to see and consider. So long as they remain profitable, I wish them well!

Since son Danny has taken over , in my opinion, Wegmans has declined in quality. Plus, Danny's recent statement regarding the ground beef mess doesn't sit well with me.

Customer comments concerning Danny Wegman's statement on the ground beef story.

Wegmans has been in my area for over 30 years. There are 2 stores within 20 miles of me. I'm not a huge fan. In my opinion, there is too much "expensive food snobbery", if you get my drift.
