They do not want to be a National Company or expand beyond their ability to visit each store yearly.

We us to live around the corner from Danny in Canandaigua.

Is that like, we won’t be building south of 466. At 466 we are done.

Nobody knows but they do have the right to change their mind and go in a different direction.

I do think you mean south of 44. If I ran this place would have done the same thing.

Ever since "Completely unbiased" Consumer Reports tipped a Suzuki Samurai, I don't trust any media's ranking of anything. They can all be bought. Wegman's is much larger than Gelson's perhaps the categories were different, perhaps Wegman's sponsored Gail Simmons and Dana Cowin and Hunter Lewis's trip to the Caribbean or was the Jubilee Sponsor for the annual festival in Aspen.

Those rankings are worth zero - talk to me after you've shopped at a Gelson's and seen the quality of their produce and proteins first hand.

They opened up one in Raleigh, NC shortly after we moved from that area to retire here and have since opened up another in nearby Apex. So they are getting at least that far south. We had heard a lot of good things about them and stopped by on a visit to see old neighbors and friends and every good thing we had heard was an understatement. I've never been so amazed by a grocery store in my life. I know that Buccee's gas stations have huge fans who go to openings of them but they don't hold a candle to how amazing Wegman's are to me. If they opened one anywhere near The Villages, I know my wife and I would be shopping there regularly. Too bad that it sounds like they are unlikely to do that.
