Here in NE Ohio we have Giant Eagle, Giant Eagle OR Giant Eagle. Closest Wegman’s is in Erie, PA. Wish they would open a store a few miles west in Ohio.

They've expanded to the entire state of Pennsylvania except Pittsburgh, headquarters of Giant Eagle. I don't know what it is they fear about GE but there are very few markets where they overlap.

Of course, Tops tried to attack GE in the Cleveland market and ended up selling off all their Ohio stores.

Not where I am in South Central PA and nearest Wegmans to me is actually in Hunt Valley MD, right across the street from where I used to work. Pretty much all there is near me are Giant (not Giant Eagle) and Weis and one pitiful Food Lion that’s just down right scary. I work in small town in Lancaster County and the Weis nearby actually has special parking spaces for buggies.

I miss the Wegmans. It’s not a store I shopped at all the time but I loved their salad and hot foods bars. Great place to stop and get lunch or even meet for dinner with a friend after work as the Hunt Valley store had a very nice upstairs dining area.

Wegmans prices for “regular” groceries are not too bad but they get you with all the really cool stuff like the massive cheese department and the prepared foods and the specialty meats and seafood.
