I definitely prefer Wegmans over Whole foods here in Maryland.
Not only is Whole Foods expensive but I also notice thta package sizes (juices, sauces , etc) are smaller than normal, like they are for a 90 year old woman.
We shop Wegmans also. I occasionally go to the Columbia Wegmans just to have lunch.
I grew up in Rochester, NY and always enjoyed Wegman’s. I live about an hour east of Syracuse now, and occasionally drive there so I can go to the nearest Wegman’s. Other than that, my only local options are Price Chopper, Tops, and Walmart. I get my meat and veggies at Price Chopper, and most of my non-perishables at Walmart. Tops seems to be higher priced than both. Once in a while when I go into Utica, I’ll stop at Hannaford.
MY GF works at Wegmans in Westwood, MA.
She Loves the company, the friendly owners/family and her fellow employees, seem like almost family to her.
She also has this weird attraction to Wegmans branded food.
She is convinced that a lot of it is better than the brand names.
