You must've lived around Rochester then? Wegmans is definitely upstates pride and joy. We LOVE talking about it and we love the attention it gets lol. You should see one of the ones in my area, it is massive. Like just massive.. You wouldn't believe it!!
Grew up in Fairport (suburb of Rochester for people who don't know) for the first 18 years of my life. I miss it sooooo much - I really want to move back but life keeps getting in the way. It really is crazy how much attention a grocery store gets. They were just starting to build the huge stores when I was leaving - they had torn down our little orange one (I will always remember it for all that 1970s orange and brown) and built a mega store. I have pictures of me there in the mid '70s. If I find one I'll post it - it's hilarious and you'll never believe its a wegmans!
But really they were awesome even when they were small - it's hard to put into words but there's just something about wegmans that they've always just had "it". The only people who get it are people who shop there. I try explaining it and people are like "Sooooo...it's a grocery store?"
Lol I'm jealous of all of you who still get to go there!
