We live in CNY and are really disappointed to see Chase-Pitkin closing. They did a much better job than Home Depot. HD's service has been pathetic lately. We'll be switching to Lowe's. NYS is shooting itself in the foot with its ridiculous regulations for businesses. My husband used to own one and after he closed it, swore that he would NEVER own a business in NYS ever again. Wegman's is doing great, though, and expanding down into the DC area, where I hear they are doing well.
Regardless, it won't be getting any better once Death to Business Spitzer gets elected next year.
Oh well. Good to know they're moving to DC, and as cynicom mentioned, into NC even!
Visiting Ohio long term over the summer, I made my first venture into an outfit that calls itself "Cub Foods." After visiting Wegmans for so long, I distinctly remember going through checkout at Cub Foods and staring at my items on the conveyor belt, waiting for them to bag themselves. Didn't take me long to remember how much I missed Wegmans.
