In my NJ town, Whole Foods has been dragging its feet in putting up its store for about 4 years. I pass it every day and NOTHING is going on. Luckily, I found it in Princeton about a half hour from my home. We have no Krogers in NJ/NY so I either depend on WFs, Wegmans (which stinks), my brilliant local food market (summer) or the Union Square Market.
I always like your opinions - why does Wegman’s “stink?”
In our area of upstate NY, we have a bunch of discount chains, which is fine for stuff like non-branded Ketchup or super-cheap, thin toilet paper (I swear its from China) and then Wegmans, who has a much better selection of products.
