We are from Rochester and Buffalo, so we also miss Wegman's. Great company. There is a great story about them. If I remember correctly, as it was a few years ago, Alec Baldwin was on the David Letterman show. Letterman asked him about his mother, and why has he not bought a new house for his Mother and moved her to Beverly Hills....
Baldwin replied that he TRIED to give his mom a new house in L.A., and wanted her to move out there away from the snow, etc. She refused, stating that she would never leave Wegman's.....
What great P.R. for Wegman's...! Afterward, Danny Wegman contacted Baldwin and he was in one of their commercials.
One of the more famous things in Rochester NY, home of Wegman's is the Strong Museum of Play. In there there is a amazing make believe Wegmans with play food, real registers, shopping carts, etc, that the kiddies can shop in anf go through the registers and get a receipt for what they "bought" etc. It is very cool.
Anyway, I love it down here, I do not miss the snow I do miss Wegman's....
