They built a new Wegman's across the street from my subdivision in Maryland and the new manager bought my home. The company actually will buy the manager's old home when they transfer so they don't have to worry about selling and buying one before the other. The manager had a letter from the Wegman corp that guaranteed the funds.

The area of the store for already prepared foods (everything from crab cakes to pizza) that you can eat on the premises or take home is bigger than an Aldis. They compete with nearby restaurants as much as other supermarkets. Within a year of the announced opening of the new store, one grocery store across the street closed (Weis), the Giant Grocery Store (similar to Publix) added gas pumps on site, and Walmart attempted to move to a different location 2 miles further away.
