Wegmans

Some people go to Wegmans to buy groceries. Others go because wandering around Wegmans is practically an activity. Between the prepared foods, bakery, produce displays, specialty ingredients, and massive selection, it's the kind of store where a quick trip can turn into an hour. Wegmans shoppers talk about their grocery store like it's a destination, not an errand. And once you've found your favorite prepared meal or bakery item, it's easy to understand the attachment. But does the full Wegmans experience beat Publix and its famous deli? Can it outshine Whole Foods for specialty shopping or match H-E-B's passionate regional loyalty? Wegmans makes a strong argument that the greatest grocery store should make you excited to walk through the doors, even when your shopping list is boring.
