Downingtown Wegman's Opening Sunday

[Steve Klc]

Vaz--have you ever been to another branch of Wegmans? I went to Bridgewater a few weeks ago and felt it was just a small step behind the Princeton store in overall quality and effort--but that was just a gut feeling and just based on one shopping trip. The Bridgewater versions of Herme's desserts were sloppy, there didn't seem to be the buzz that I feel in Princeton. I wondered if it could be shoppers in Bridgewater were less enthusiastic than shoppers in Princeton. I agree with you about that wine annex in Bridgewater--we wandered in there and were impressed, finding some depth in South American wines and a selection of 7 or 8 good gruner veltliners. Prices are set across the state but the selection at this store was deep and in some categories interesting. We came home with about a dozen bottles.

I just came across this piece while searching on Wegmans:

and wondered what the good word is on this store? It's been open 3 months, how has it been doing--are you happy? Has it re-energized your shopping?

OK, may not be the best thread for this, but the Downingtown Wegmans has started serving Gelato and Sorbet at the coffee bar.

I tasted a few which were pretty good (not sublime as Capagiros, but pretty strong). I got a small cup of mango sorbet, which tasted like it had Alphonso mangoes (or pulp) in it.
