How Wegmans Supermarkets Compare with Others
More like a European open-air market:
Dazzling displays of fresh produce, artisan breads and other baked goods hot from the oven several times a day. Displays of fresh-caught seafood, meat, deli products and imported cheeses, international foods—plus all the groceries and household items usually found in supermarkets.
More choice than possibly any other supermarket chain:
More than 70,000 products, compared to an average of just over 40,000 (according to the Food Marketing Institute) in most supermarkets. Take cheese, for example: Wegmans usually has 300 specialty cheeses on hand.
Larger than most supermarkets:
(We need room for all that stuff!) Stores run 80,000 to 140,000 square feet in size. Aisles are unusually spacious.
Wegmans offers more customer convenience services and “stores within a store” than possibly any other supermarket chain. Many of Wegmans' stores, though not all, have the following:
