Whereabouts, if you don't mind me asking.

Nancy, It is going to be on the west side of Rt.#35 at Sunset Ave. in Ocean Twp. Susie Q

Thank you. That's a kinda tough intersection, hope they plan on improving it.

I love Wegman's. After having moved from Los Angeles, CA to Central PA, I
totally missed my Trader Joe's, Bristol Farms, and Whole Foods. The city I
live in has no grocery store where I can get imported cheese, pancetta, etc.
The Wegman's I go to is about an hour from where I live, but I don't mind
the drive to State College. For me, Wegman's pretty much satisfied what I
was looking for in a grocery store, and I think they'd do well in CA.

Well, after all that procrastinating I finally went. I knew it would be nice, quite nice. Well,
it was all that and more.

I was thinking, okay, this is not going to be a cheap foray into supermarket land, but that's not
why I was there. Walk in the door and what is the first thing I see? Haas avocados 4 $1. Holy
crow, I guess that's the 'after superbowl' sale, because that is dirt cheap here.

Well, what a delightful store, the stuff they had, it was just outstanding. Prepared foods, hot
out of the oven breads, all kinds of cheeses, a beautiful meat and fish department, it really was
all I'd heard of and more. I will definitely be back.

One opened here in Downingtown, Pa (S E PA) last spring. It is very well recieved as I do not
think the demographics would have indicated. This is a Shop-Rite kind of aera. Their marketing
people must know something.

Their produce is fantastic, fruits and veggis I never hear of. Fresh mushrooms of many types,
morels in season, trumpets, chantelles, wood ear, pom poms, even truffles.

The cheese section is as large as some store's meat department. Fresh Russian caviar and more. I
asked if they sell much and was told that all their caviar was sold before the sell date.

I have had raw oysters only a few times at restaurents, I get them so often now that the fish mgr
knows me.

Fish and meat departments are wonderful, nice selection of USDA Prime beef.

All in all a great store. www.wegmans.com
