Wegman’s Grocery Store

P1010828We went to an unbelievable store today.  It was a HUGE grocery store that had everything and anything you could want!!!  It even had an escalator that took your cart up with you.  Wow! Yep, an escalator in a grocery store.  It has two elevators also, and stairs.

It had a big buffet with every food known to man and a lounge and a place to eat outside and inside.  The inside area looked out over the shopping center and the outside area was like in San Francisco.  It is two stories and has an attached two story covered parking area.  Geez, talk about upscale.Disappointed smile
