Too bad Wegmans isn't as good as it used to be!
I used to be one of Wegmans biggest fans!!!
The Corning, NY store opened in June of 1986—that was the first store in our area.
It was open 24 hours, we would often visit in the wee hours of the morning when there were few souls there!
I loved it!!!
After Robert, the patriarch, died in 2006 their business model changed quite a bit.
They focused much more on expansion, rather than taking proper care of the stores they already had!!!
Shelves were/are often bare.
They chose to compete directly with Walmart, Aldi and the like—slapping their once well regarded name on inferior products.
Now, the closest Wegmans, the Elmira, NY store, is just 2 miles away. The Corning store is about 17 miles away. And the Ithaca store—32 miles.
The Ithaca store is probably the best of the three, but it's usually VERY crowded—I HATE crowds! LOL
I still like Wegmans, I shop their more than any grocery store—but I miss the old Wegmans.
