I keep seeing folks mention how they wish Wegman's would open a store in TV. Perhaps they don't know but most grocery store chains are REGIONAL. I believe Walmart is probably the only chain that has stores in every state.

From Wegman's own website:

"Today, we have stores in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland and Massachusetts. You’ll see from our list of future projects that our new store growth is concentrated in the northeast and mid-Atlantic regions, though we will continue to upgrade or replace older stores in our more mature markets, like New York."

In other words, Wegman's WON"T be coming to Florida. Just like Publix, whose stores are all in the southeast, won't be opening stores in the northeast, either.

We love our Whole Foods here in Birmingham, and visit it on average of twice a month for special items not available elsewhere.
