SDS Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Hi, Welcome to Wegmans. I'm Carrie... How may I assist you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude_Verret Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 All the WNY necessities (Sahlen's, bison dip, loganberry etc.) readily available to make your next raping, pillaging and baby eating tailgate a rousing success.

I haven't seen Sahlens as lately at my local store (which is on the small side), I'm going over to a larger store tonight; I'll have to take a look. They usually have Weber's and the mix to make the brown hotdog sauce though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude_Verret Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 A few years back I was heading to Buffalo on my annual Bills home opener weekend guys trip. We changed planes in Baltimore and the whole damn plane was Bills fans heading to the game..they played the shout song on a loop while we boarded and the flight attendants were taking drink orders as soon as you grabbed your seat. Our whole group had three beers each and they never charged us. Massive party. Anyhoo...the guy that sat across the aisle from me was a Wegmans exec on his way back from meetings. We grilled him pretty hard about Wegmans coming to NC and although he never offered anything concrete, all his answers were coy and given with a smirk that told me something was in the works. My only gripe is that it will be in Cary..I hate driving in that part of town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) You can apparently already get Sahlen's hot dogs in Charlotte. They have a distribution center over there. Great news though. edit: CV, at least you won't have to make that drive regularly. Edited January 19, 2016 by shrader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Everyone bend over and get ready to take it in the shorts. Wegmans is great but you get what you pay for. People are so willing to be butt raped. It makes me want a career change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They opened a Wegman's in Burlington MA, about 45 mins south of me. I love that they still carry all the foods you can get in WNY like Zweigel's Hots, sponge candy and Vernor's ginger ale.

People are so willing to be butt raped. It makes me want a career change.Around here all the nicer stores are already pretty over priced, so I can't imagine Wegmans being worse. Food Lion (think super duper / jubilee) has cheaper prices, but their stores are kind of nasty. This should be the opening battle of the great supermarket wars, I read yesterday this will be the first market to have a Publix and Wegmans. Publix came here a couple years ago with great fanfare. Meh. It's wegmans lite at best. Edited January 20, 2016 by Claude_Verret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh. It's wegmans lite at best. Is Publix anywhere other than Cary? I have no reason to head out there for groceries. I'll do it with Wegman's for the Buffalo foods though. That will be all though. My wife works near there though, so I guess I'll make her the gopher (assuming that NH girl can identify the right products). We've settled on going to Food Lion lately (ie. 2016), and yeah, they're not the best looking stores. The prices are really good though. We haven't had any complaints yet on the quality of the produce, which is about the only thing that is going to differ from store to store. I've heard some stories about a meat scandal in their stores years ago though. Do you know what that was? That kind of stuff we'll just buy somewhere else when needed.

chileanseabass Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 You can apparently already get Sahlen's hot dogs in Charlotte. They have a distribution center over there. Great news though. edit: CV, at least you won't have to make that drive regularly. Yep, there's a local hot dog joint that only sells Sahlen's, plus they are the "official" dog sold at the Charlotte Knights baseball games. They can be found in the larger Food Lion stores in the area. NC is turning into a battleground for grocery stores. Harris Teeter held a stranglehold on the area as the more upscale choice, but now Wegman's is entering the Raleigh area and Publix has opened stores throughout Charlotte. It'll be interesting to see if Publix/Wegman's can cut into HT's market share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there is just the one Publix in Cary at Davis Dr and High House and another somewhere else in town getting ready to open. I've never shopped there, I just stopped in once since it's near my office to see what the hub bub was and haven't been back. We go to Food Lion for a few quick items that we need since it's right outside our subdivision. My wife already drives to Cary to shop at Trader Joes. I don't know about any meat scandal specifically but being a backyard grilling and bbq snob I just can't use Food Lion for meats, but their produce is ok. Usually when I peruse their meat aisle the packages are close to their sell by date and some are already turning color. :sick: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were bleaching meat and fish to get rid of the spoiled smell and repackaging it. I think that was about 20 years ago in the 1990's...

Wish it was in raleigh versus spot in cary but will be worth the trip. Food lion always smells but for canned good cheaper than Walmart. Harris Teeter is a Legman want to be when they opened a store near downtown bragged how it was like wegmans we went once and laughed.

MattPie Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) i m hoping for bison dip and trooper farms chips!!!! Wish it was in raleigh versus spot in cary but will be worth the trip At the western Philly suburbs stores I frequent, Bison is usually available. Troyer Farms chips I haven't seen. I looked last night and they had Zweigle's but not Sahlen's (they also had Hoffman's, from Syracuse). You might get more Buffalo stuff in NC though; there's certainly a large and vocal enough population of Buffalo ex-pats.

darksabre Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 http://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/money/business/2014/12/11/lidestri-foods-innovation/20234421/ I love how stories about LiDestri only ever show pictures of the Lee Rd plant. I worked at the Fairport plant and they avoided showing us off like we were the ugly step-child. :lol: I liked the salsa we made for Aldi. And the house brand Franceso pasta sauce has a lot of good flavor variety while hitting a good price point. Wegmans brand tends to be my go to when I shop. I won't buy a certain "brand that will not be named" out of principle because those jerks made us run too many non-safety quality control tests. It's pasta sauce, not a Space-X mission. :P LiDestri is a good company. They employ a lot of people in the area. It's not easy work, but it's not bad work either.
