Finally. An insider’s view of your shopping obsession.

As a customer and former employee, I’ve long had Wegmania.

I launched Wegmaniacal in December 2019, to examine the cultlike following the company has in New York and other eastern states.

Then the coronavirus took over. Not long after, George Floyd was murdered. Most of the news posted here in recent weeks has concerned the company’s response to both.

The health and safety of employees and customers is obviously a prime issue. So is divestment from cities such as Rochester, NY, corporate headquarters for Wegmans.

As the company has been surprisingly reticent on both topics, Wegmaniacal has evolved into an effort to provide a fair and accurate account of what’s going on.

I can’t wait to write about other stuff.
