I had moved here from Bel Air, Maryland and they built a Wegman's across the street from my home. In fact, I sold my home to the new manager. If anyone wants to be impressed with a supermarket, go into a Wegmans. The cooked foods and prepared foods section alone is as big as a Publix. They are really a destination store.
Here's the Bel Air store, the entire building you see is the grocery store.
The prepared foods area
The checkouts

While you are absolutely right, Wegman's is a full service grocery store +, while Trader Joe's and Fresh Market are boutique niche type of stores.
