Re: Anybady have a Wegmans in your neighborhood?

Last night I made a late night dash to one grocery store name Shoppers fi pick up 2 itmes. They have an international isle whe mi buck up pan and things were soooooo cheap. Tuff crackers fi $1.00 (1.99 elsewhere). Banana chips fi .99 (3.99 inna di teefing stores), shelf line wid grace products and D&G drinks. Dem giving the surrounding International stores a run fi dem money. Needless to say, I had to grab a shopping cart.

Our Shoppers cheap but not so cheap.

It will be interesting to see how Giant, Safeway and Shoppers compete with the Wegmans

Who has a Wegman in their area? Last Sunday I was stuck in a huge traffic jam and could not figure the reason for it. The only time our area have that kind of traffic is a home Redskins game.

Come to find out there was a GRAND opening of a Wegmans right in my back yard.

I did not have a clue what Wegmans is. Turned on the news and saw that they were TV cameras and County Executives present for the opening. I was like what in the world is all this frenzy about. Mi phone ring and sia girlfren asking mi if mi did dey a di opening. She start to describe the store and I said – man mi havvi goh check dis place out.

I visited and HOLY MACARONI AND CHEESE! What a place big!! I am sooo impressed! The store is laid out in 2 parts. One part is a café wid all kina International cuisines (buffet style) and Chefs right dere a cook anyting yuh want. Then the grocery store itself is so well laid out. If you are a Diabetic, they have a section with whole heapa products just for you. If you love Gluten Free…you have a section…Organic has its own section.. Any kina Diet needs is all laid out in a way for you to know the foods you should eat.

Then there is the international Isles and big big sign pan dat side sey JAMAICA. Dem sell Grace products and Ackee an dem tings dey pan di shelf.

Mi cyan type out everything bout this store. It is truly amazing compared to other grocery chains you know!! I will honestly say with the amount of people that is required to run that store, the unemployment rate should drop by 10%.

Did any MDers go to the opening? Apparently Wegmans is a chain that States and counties have to bid to get them in the community. I can see why

Yuh neva si smoke widout fiyah..I was wondering why they were widening the road months ago .. now mi si why. They need more roads to funnel traffic to that place

Don't count on that ILP ..same ting dem did sey when the Boulevard (Cap Center) did come to the area. They managed to keep the hood rats in check. Yes they are there but dem cyaan gwaanie-gwaanie. The presence of ample Security does help.

Re: Anybady have a Wegmans in your neighborhood?

We don't have a Wegmans but there is a place call Bravo's that is taking business from all the West Indian grocery stores. They have 1 aisle dedicated to Jamaican products plus they sell goat head and all the meats we like. My wife told me she even saw one of the owners of a West Indian Grocer store shopping in there for stuff to carry back to his store.

I guess the Walmart effect is happening...

I feel so guilty buying from some of those larger stores for the Jamaican grocery items because di likkle country man need fi eat and feed him family to. But sometimes, the price difference is so significant that mi cyaan help it.
