Wegmans

The supermarkets in Manhattan Naturally are small, Perhaps to compensate for All the buildings that are tall. They aren’t meant for shopping carts Or giant stock-up sprees. Most people grab the items They can carry home with ease. Today, though, in the suburbs I hit Wegman’s - what a store! So huge it seemed like there were Miles of aisles to explore. The produce all looked fresh, as did The dairy, fish and meats. The bakery was filled with lots Of yummy fresh-made treats. And oh, the choices in the section Set aside for beer! The IPA’s alone produced A grin from ear to ear. For someone used to city marts I sure was blown away, But overwhelmed by all the stuff So tempting on display.

Ilene I am from Rochester NY where Wegmans started. They are a Billionaire private company. My brother knew Mr Wegman and his wife he worked for him as a young adult. Danny his son took over the Company and now Danny's daughters run it. Wegmans is meticulous about their products. Their managers are trained to throw away anything that is slightly bad as far as fruits and vegetables. Wegmans has won so many awards for their foreign divirsity of foods. Their stores are cleaned obsessively. I can

I can relate to how you felt. I was fortunate to experience at an early age and have fond memories of Wegmans. Thanks for sharing...

Yeah. NYC sure has some narrow store aisles... Kind of like going from the USSR in 1990 to the suburbs back then. There was more dog food in the suburban store than there was in the whole supermarket in the Kharkiv. (At least, that's what my wife has told me). :) gw

Gosh, I can relate! I went to my first Wegmans 2 months ago when I moved from Ct. (40 minutes from NYC) to Rochester N.Y. Holy cow! You're right, so different then our Stop and Shop. Overwhelming fun. Reminds me of Walmart in this way, you go in for socks and you leave with outfits. Go into Wegmans for a cake come out with isles 2, 4 and 5. Such a great poem. LOVED IT!
