“Not familiar with the brands.”
Wegmans is a grocery store chain. Not sure how extensive they are but we’ve visited one in Alexandria VA (where our kid is stationed). The store itself is huge. It’s not just a grocery store, but offers a small restaurant, coffee bar and many in-store specialty items.
BUT, their main claim to fame is their huge/really big/extensive line of pre-made meal offerings...all made on-site, I think. Anything from sandwiches, cheeses, salads, meat entrees, side items, bread, dessert. You name it, it’s been made (many pre-cooked), trayed up and covered in plastic wrap....complete with cooking instructions. All you have to do is take it home and pop it in the oven. You can buy their pre-wrapped food items or you can line up along their 3 or 4 long food bars and dish out your own...and then pay by the pound!
We’ve gone by a couple of times to pick up a complete meal while visiting up there. But we don’t go there now because it’s ridiculously expensive. The price was quick to wear the novelty off.
Another thing about it...I just couldn’t shake the feeling that, with all the open-air food and handling...it was a case of salmonella just waiting to happen.
Mr mm has been in the back of Wegmans for work related issues concerning HVAC and he was very impressed with the cleanliness of the food prep areas.
I have had very, very little problem with any of their products and they ALWAYS honor it if you bring something back. they never post dated their meat to the best of my knowledge and one time when I asked a meat dept guy about it, he said their meats will always last several days past the expiration date and if they don’t to bring it back anyways.
The salmonella isn’t Wegman’s problem per se. It’s from Plainville products with Wegman’s store brand label on it. So it’s really Plainville’s problem.
