"We're looking for high-density areas with high levels of income and education.'' Yeah, of course they are. I move to CT and then they open a store in Massachusetts. Oh well, I don't miss Massavtwoshits at all! Here is a breakdown of all the upcoming Wegmans!
boyst Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 WHEN THE F! ARE THEY COMING TO NC!?!?! That place would explode here! There is a freakin facebook group dedicated to getting it in NC! Makes me hate Boston more!
Just Jack Posted June 7, 2011 Author Posted June 7, 2011 Store #2 for the Boston area announced.... Wegmans to build store near Burlington Mall Wegmans, the New York grocery chain, is planning to build a 140,000-square-foot supermarket near the Burlington Mall by the spring of 2013. It will be the second store in Massachusetts for Wegmans, which is opening its first one in Northborough this fall.
Kiwi Bills fan Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Now they just need to expand down to the south island! Baby steps...
PromoTheRobot Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Burlington Mall is only 40 minutes from me in NH. Northboro is about an hour and ten but I still plan to go every few weeks. I wonder if they will ever get to Manch-vegas NH? PTR
ACor58 Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) I might sound like a jerk, but I don't think those M@ssholes deserve a Wegmans. Edited June 8, 2011 by ACor58
Nervous Guy Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Interesting...we were actually considering the area near Northborough, I will be relocating to Mass when Pfizer moves to Cambridge next year, this might make it more tolerable.
shrader Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 I might sound like a jerk, but I don't think those M@ssholes deserve a Wegmans. Quiet, I need a supply of sahlen's hot dogs.
bbb Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 I have a friend who is from Upstate, now lives in Southborough, and she can't wait for this.
zow2 Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Last weekend they just opened up another Wegmans down here in Maryland (Frederick). You wouldn't believe the fanfare and hype. Thousands of people came to the opening. I have to admit, the one's they open down here are so much nicer than i remember in WNY. They are huge and have live music, food, chef stations, wifi and childcare to name a few. It's a destination point. Have fun going in Mass.

They've done many updates to the ones up here just like that. Chef stations all over, Wifi in the lunch area, and I believe child care as well. I love Wegmans and their subs are awesome.

PromoTheRobot Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 I went to the opening. Drove an hour plus from NH to get some things you can only buy at a Wegman's. I think I spent the entire time with my mouth open in awe. I've seen a lot of Wegman's stores but this one is the largest and most spectacular I've seen. Of course it was an absolute madhouse. The downside of shopping in a place like that is you go into brain-lock over the selection. You see one thing you want, then another, and another. If you're not careful your cart is full before you leave the first aisle. PTR
The Poojer Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 I am sure I've said it here many times, but Wegmans in the philly area is awesomer than anywhere else because they put pubs inside the stores to 'circumvent' the beer laws and it allows you to buy up to 3 six packs per visit instead of being forced to buy by the case from the package stores or sixers from local bars....whole foods does it as well, but wegmans is awesomer than whole foods

I'm going to need some suggestions other than the sahlen's hot dogs I'll be stocking up on.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Minor annoyance: They don't sell sponge candy in the Wegman's here, or kimmelweck rolls.
PromoTheRobot Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Minor annoyance: They don't sell sponge candy in the Wegman's here, or kimmelweck rolls. You mean in MA? I saw both. Weck rolls in the bakery and Sponge candy at check out. PTR
Jim in Anchorage Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 What, no list of what these specific products were? I'm going to need some suggestions other than the sahlen's hot dogs I'll be stocking up on. Last I went to Wegmans in 2003 [ one in Hamburg,I think ] I thought the selection of cheese and cured meat's was incredible, but I am no judge as Anchorage's grocery stores are piss poor bad.
