Pre-game show at Wegmans

Posted on February 2, 2020February 8, 2020 by Wegmaniacal

The lines started forming early this morning, people pushing carts crammed with the essentials of Snack Food Sunday.

They bought tubs of pretzels, myriad kinds of chips, and popcorn in two-pound bags. They loaded up on meatballs, pizza, wings, chili fixings, pasta fixings, sushi platters, guac, salsa and queso dip. And, after 8 a.m., beer, lots of beer.

But the most decadent offering for the big game: strawberries dipped in dark chocolate and decorated to look like footballs. Buyers betray themselves as coastal-state fans, don’t you think? Chocolate-dipped strawberries just don’t strike me as a Kansas City finger food.

“Dad! Why are you taking us to @Wegmans on #SuperBowlSunday?!”

Heaven help @Wegmans if the @BuffaloBills ever make it to the #SuperBowl. It’s pandemonium right now.

About This Site

Upstate New Yorkers love their Wegmans, with a bond that newer customers in other parts of the East are discovering. As a customer and former employee, I share the obsession.

I launched Wegmaniacal in December 2019, to examine the cultlike following the company has developed since its founding in Rochester more than a century ago.

The site stagnated when I left Wegmans and returned to other endeavors. But with rising grocery prices, lowering environmental regulation, and pharmaceutical challenges, it’s time to resume writing here.

Much of what I have to say is positive. Nevertheless, the company is family owned and most of its operations are conducted in private. As a longtime journalist, I’ll also delve into topics Danny Wegman would prefer to keep behind closed doors.
