Ah, to be a forgetful supermarket blogger. I stopped by this 115,000 square foot Wegmans with a friend while passing through the area to get some lunch. Because most Wegmans look more or less the same, I figured I could take it easy a little bit and get away with just an exterior picture and a few from the second floor cafe overlooking the whole sales floor. Satisfied with my good-enough laziness and with the murky belief that we'd toured a Wegmans at least once here on the blog, I marked this store down as a quick Look Inside instead of a full tour. One problem: while sorting out the pictures to be used in this post back in May of 2020 (holy cow, that was a long time ago now), I realized I already had a full tour of this store -- and that I'd posted it back in March 2019.
Oh well. Here's a look across the sales floor from produce towards the grocery aisles beyond that. You can see how enormous the store is from way up here.
And a look down the deli/bakery/prepared foods aisle along the left side of the store here. We're heading northwest to one more store before we turn south and finish out Greater Somerville with a look at a few stops in Hillsborough, so come back tomorrow to see our next tour!
Does anyone know if Wegmans plans to bring back their salad and hot food bars? I was in the Bridgewater store about 2 months ago and the bars were still gone. Replaced with what looked like a permanent, full-service salad counter with a limited assortment of packaged prepared foods. Wegmans was famous for their bars so I really hope they bring them back!
ReplyDeleteI used to visit this store pretty regularly before my company gave up our offices. This is a really great Wegmans, particularly in comparison to the Princeton and Woodbridge locations. The one thing that frustrated me though was the lack of produce in the evening hours. Always a problem every time I was here.
It's a good question -- I do believe that Wegmans has permanently ended its self-service food bar program, and I remember reading something to that effect a while back. I was very disappointed too!
DeleteYes, I found articles online saying Wegmans gave up permanently on the food bars but are now bringing hot food bars back to a limited amount of stores so maybe there's still hope!
