I personally have never been a big fan of their clock tower facades. Some of the smaller stores that used to be in Rochester had a very old facade to them that actually looked very nice and homey. Only about two of those still exist.
Why are people so excited about Wegmans? (Besides job seekers.) I don't see a countdown or updates or construction site photos for new schools, or libraries, or hospitals, or places of worship. What's up with all the hubbub for a grocery store?
It's nice, but... just tell me when it opens. People are posting monthly updates about it like it's their baby. ;)
Wegmans is far more than a grocery store in the sense of Giant or Safeway. It is literally a foodie heavan! AMAZING produce, wonderful breads, the best meat selection I have seen (including most butcher shops). You can get Prime grade meats, ultra fresh seafood, terrific prepared meals. There is just SOOO much to it.
And Rob summed it up very well. Harris Teeter is a great store, but I'd do all my shopping at Wegmans if I could. Going there will save me trips to my Italian Grocer, butcher and sorry to say Frank's.
I love comments -- especially comments that specifically recommend dishes or items to buy. Tell people what you like and why. If you can, please don't leave it as "anonymous." Just choose "name/URL" below, type in a nickname and leave the URL part blank. I like following people's comments even if I don't know your name.
