Wegmans

Wegmans is my home aways from home! I love just being there! I love the friendly staff, clean store. They always have plenty of registers open. I find their prices to be very good and I can always find what I need there… and then some!

Wegman’s has really grown on me. I tend to avoid grocery «superstores» but their prices are great, the selection of organic is decent and the produce seems fresh. I love the one-​stop-​shop concept.
I’d love to see them carry more organic & *LOCAL* produce/​meats since there’s so much of that in Frederick County.
Lots of parking & checkout lines — although this place can get quite packed. So, come early or late! For those that hate to cook, they have a huge selection of prepared foods.

Nearly two years later, this Wegmans still falls sadly short in the inventory department. Not only that, but I’ve written two letters to customer service and received NO response.
The latest convergence of disappointment happened a few days before Halloween, when Wegmans was not only totally out of tiny pumpkins that I wanted to get for an office party, but the entire place was already stocked for Christmas. If you need to roll out the holidays that early, don’t do it at the expense of the current occasion.
On this same trip, several other items were missing, from the guilty-​pleasure udon they hide on the bottom shelf near the other instant noodles to the type of salad dressing I like. Xochitl corn chips were placed on several distinct end-​caps, but the no-​salt version were really difficult to locate. Gone was my brand of rice, with no explanation, and several other items were relocated. Don’t even think about trying to buy premium items here. For example, if you want hot chocolate, I hope you like Swiss Miss!
I sound curmudgeonly, but I can’t help it. I can live with Swiss Miss, okay? But it’s frustrating to be constantly thwarted in my effort to restock basic items. (Remember the time they were out of plain gelatin? Remember the time they were out of eggplants?) I also know how fabulous Wegmans can be, so I see this location as lagging way behind the Wegmans standard. And more than that, I’m not sure why nobody ever replies to my attempts at direct communication with the store’s management.

Pretty much my favorite grocery store in the Frederick area.
The bakery is awesome, with some really great artesian bread and other baked goods. They have a great selection of aged cheese as well. Their store brand brie is the bomb. And of course a deli with all sorts of meats.
Even if you’re not looking to do traditional grocery shopping, that’s okay too because there’s a café, sandwich shop, hot food bar, and a little grab-​and-​go convenience store area. So you can basically eat and grab coffee here even if you weren’t doing any actual grocery shopping. Cool.
I personally usually judge a grocery on how good their ethnic section is, and Wegman’s doesn’t disappoint.
The only negative, which I agree with other reviewers, is that logically the store makes no sense in terms of where stuff is at. But once you’ve been a few times and get the hang of the layout, then it’s really not a problem.

Wegmans is as close to Whole Foods as you can get! The shopping experience is made better with reasonable prices and a knowledgeable and friendly staff!

I am pretty sure they train their cashiers to ring up produce wrong, in order to make a bigger profit. There is no way that every. single. cashier. rings up regular cooking onions as mayan sweet onions, unless they were instructed to. Those are a dollar more per pound than regular onions. Nobody buys those. I wonder what other unethical business practices are happening here.
This has happened every single time I’ve shopped here. I’m so close to calling the Better Business Bureau about this.

Just OK. Slightly up-​scale, usually very crowded supermarket esp. popular with the yuppies and 30-​something hipsters. Can’t speak to the food court, but most of what I’ve tried hasn’t been that good, though spouse and teen like the sushi. Deli/​prepared foods are way overpriced and mostly terrible. No sauce on the Mac and Cheese, not enough on the Sesame Chicken. Chicken strips were the worst I’ve had-​tough and mostly batter. Rotisserie chicken OK, as was a prepared quiche twice the price of similar quality elsewhere. Bakery: packaged cookies taste OK, but are so heavy on the sugar and butter, I get sick every time, so they’re not making it home anymore. I’m not in the least tempted by a $ 3.00 cupcake or an 8 oz. bag of cookies for $ 12 behind the case. Seafood section is large, but again very pricey. Does anyone buy it? Large produce section, but in my opinion a bit lacking on the selection. Very disappointed in the tiny, understocked floral dept-​esp for a «high-​end» market. A couple of aisles of health foods and supplements which occasionally comes in handy when I don’t want to truck all the way down 85. Very over-​priced kitchen items in the center until you reach the right half of the store with the usual frozen cases and non-​perishable shelf items. I find this part of the store the most lacking in selection. Some of their generic foods are actually good, and if I stick to those and/​or the sale items, I can get some of my shopping done there. I will say their generic sodas are great copies, if I weren’t trying to kick that unhealthy habit.
Mostly, it’s a place I might run into for a couple of items if I’m in the area, or for a harder-​to-​find item, like organic popcorn.

Their great meat and cheese selection makes it worthwhile to occasionally shop at this store. We’ve tried various prepared items from the food court and usually have been disappointed. This must be where the past sell by date items end up. The chicken dishes (BBQ) were dry and tasted VERY old. Threw it away. Other than some great southern style potato salad, haven’t found much worthy of trying twice.
The layout of the store is confusing and takes a while to figure out. Some things, like eggs, are in several different places. We were looking for a type of cracker and stuffing mix and even the employees couldn’t send us in the right direction. Finally found what we were looking for on our 4^th visit. Every 4^th trip or so to the grocery, we get enough courage to brave a trip to Wegmans.
Fortunately, there are several new food markets in downtown Frederick with great cheese and specialty items. Fun shopping too.

I was so ready to love Wegmans. In looking for a place when we moved here, listings use their proximity to Wegmans as a property feature, like a spare bedroom or heated floors. I wanted to love it. The store is big and clean with a good selection overall. The layout is stupid, like being in a casino. Prices are high, but you knew that from looking at the building. People raving about the café and food bar, are from Frederick. There is no good food in Frederick. (I’ll amend after I try Volt). People from Frederick are awesome, I love my new community. But the bar is set really low for dining out. The bakery is frozen, shipped in product. They are being sued along with Whole Foods for claiming to be a scratch bakery. That considered, the prices are nuts! The meat and seafood departments are great and the specialty cheese table is good.
The biggest problem is the employees. They block the aisles filling shelves and refuse to move, the counter help in all departments are put out and unfriendly. Wegmans consistently gets voted as a top employer in the U.S., so are you really that miserable? I understand that you’re restocking produce and shelves, but you’re doing that because the guest is shopping there. Smile and move out of the way.
The last time I was there I walked up to the checkout, no one in line, checker was talking to the checker at the neighboring checkstand. Continuing their conversation, no eye contact she proceeded to check out my order. Still no eye contact, she picks up my package of soft shell crabs between two fingertips, face crumpled in horror and exclaims «ew, are these alive?» Drops them, unwrapped into the bag with other items with a shudder. She finishes ringing me up asks if I want cash back. Then continues her conversation with the other checker. I get home to find a bag that should have had a container of fresh fettuccine, bulk ground cinnamon and powdered sugar had not made it home with me. I was making soft shell crabs with pasta for dinner and cinnamon rolls for breakfast. It added two more trips to Weis to an already annoying day. Yes, I should have inventoried all my ingredients after discovering the missing cinnamon, but I digress. So my receipt ends up being in the bag with the unwrapped soft shell crabs which have soaked it like a sponge. Luckily if her name was on the receipt it was melted away by crab juice.
I went back and was allowed to pick up the items later on. But only after being told several times I should have called. Yes, that’s probably true, but I wouldn’t have been very pleasant and thought I’d save having to apologize.
Long winded, but sums up my overall Wegmans experiences. I’m floored at how excited people are over this place. It’s ok, it’s just a grocery store. The same trucks deliver goods to all the stores. It’s just wrapped up in a pretty package here.

This is the perfect store for Unilocalers, lol it thinks it’s more then it is, kinda like Unilocalers Lol, if you want a pre made meal? Most have a high school cafeteria bland taste, all the items are over priced, but most Volvo drivers who shop there won’t mind, just gives them something to Unilocal about lol

Love this store it’s huge and clean. The employees are friendly and we know how much I love friendly employees. The food is amazing and fresh. You can go here to eat or to shop.

Hands down the best supa market round err! This place has it all and really good quality food from all across the world: indian, chinese, japanese, italian, subs, etc. CRAZY!!! I wish there was one closer by my house.

There is nothing better than Wegmans!
Nothing comes close to Wegmans for fresh food, organic and natural selections, prepared foods, you name it!
From the parking lot to the amazing colors and delicious smells, you could literally enjoy half the day here! Plus if you need to meet someone for coffee or lunch, everybody can eat exactly what they are craving!
Personally I love the sushi, all the bakery items, and the incredible selection of organic fresh fruits and vegetables!
Every location they open is better than the one before!
As a Rochester NY native, I am a Wegmans loyalist!

So decided to come back here and do some veggie shopping and they improved. The Japanese grocery section is still well stocked for my needs, they also added more great veggies and for a bonus, they started offering different flavor mochy in the sushi section! The salad bar is also well stocked and fresh now.
I took off one star because the Asian food café. Not to crazy about the selections and the quality of it.

I have been a Giant shopper for the 2 years I’ve been living in Maryland. Wegmans was always a splurge place to get bulk candy for events as a treat but I never looked into shopping for anything else because i assumed it was too pricey. After having issues with the produce at my grocery store I was talking with a friend and they stated that they had made the conversion to Wegmans because their produce was far superior to anything else she had ever bought in the area.
So because my wife and I are in the beginning stages of a healthier eating regimen we decided to give Wegmans a try. We are beyond pleased with every aspect of this store. One of the things I noticed was in every section of the store there was someone stocking the shelves, someone checking temperatures of foods in the buffet area and even just some employees asking customers if they needed help with anything. There was even someone in the floral department — all at 8pm on a Friday. if you walk into any other store on a Friday night more than likely there aren’t many employees to be found and the shelves are near bare. All the employees are incredibly pleasant and the store is so clean. The produce section was even better than we could have imagined. So many different options and things that I have been wanting to try but either can’t find anywhere or they charge you an arm and a leg for it. We ended up spending almost 2 hours in the store just walking around enjoying all of the different options they had to offer as well as comparing prices of their products to what we have paid in the past. I will forevermore be a Wegmans shopper and I would highly recommend this company — especially this location to anyone and everyone I know.
Oh and their buffet is awesome! So many options and everything is delicious! Once a month we have our dinner here before we grocery shop — helps to prevent us from shopping hungry! :)

I was certain I had been grocery store deprived after my first Wegman’s experience. We just do not have grocery options like this where I am from.
I’ve come to the conclusion that if you can’t find it at Wegman’s, you probably don’t need it anyways. This is just a great store aside from one major issue… some of their employees are incredibly rude. Not the cashiers or speciality counter people. They are almost all very pleasant (aside from some cashiers being absolutely clueless about bagging) but other employees throughout the store need a crash course in not being jerks. They will step right in front of you and even make physical contact in order to get past you. If you need something on a shelf behind where they are socializing, forget it. It’s just the weirdest thing and I can’t figure it out. Maybe I just spend entirely too much time at the grocery store…
Anyways, if they could address that issue, Wegman’s would be the must wonderful place to shop.

Clean and GIANT sized store. HUGE so unless you come in with a list of what to get, you’ll be here no less than 40mins.
Staff is very friendly and helpful. Large selection of organic foods and an increasingly great selection of vegetarian/​vegan goodies. They also carry Organic and nitrate/​nitrites free deli meats.
Prices are IMO much better than other grocery stores around. Also a lot of check out lanes so it moves fast and there’s a huge parking lot.

Don’t even think about labeling this place a grocery store– that just wouldn’t do this place justice.
Their food bar has such a great selection and is always hot and fresh!
It gets so busy during lunch that you don’t even have to worry about whether or not the foods been out for too long.
They offer a huge pastry selection and unique/​local/​organic brands to choose from!
Also, if you get tired while shopping, not to worry, they have a mini café for you to get your caffeine fix!
The store is clean and beautiful. Probably the prettiest grocery store I’ve been to haha
If heaven had a grocery store, I’m pretty sure it’d be Wegmans~

Dim lighting makes me love this place. Prices are comparable Giant, Safeway, etc. Be warned, if you go food shopping on Sunday you will be one of 1 million people in the store.
Also, the pizza is great, you can buy a few different styles of pizza by the slice. The rest of the café serves up fresh salads, sandwiches, and homestyle meals at reasonable prices.

Wegmans is open til midnight every day, how awesome is that?!
It’s great for groceries because you can get all of your basics, as well as gourmet and high end products. For example, they have vanilla bean pods in the baking aisle which I’ve never seen at Giant. It is a huge store so it might take a couple of visits to familiarize yourself with the layout. I particularly like the produce section since they have a large, fresh selection of traditional and organic fruits and veggies.
The star of the show is the prepared foods section. Personally, I think it’s hit or miss. The baked goods are amazing… I can’t get enough of the croissants! Normally I’m not pressed for pies but the chocolate peanut butter pie is decadent and delicious. They bake a mean chocolate chip cookie too.
The hot foods bar sucks though. Just about everything I’ve tried has been bland, such as the wings, Mac and cheese, mozzarella sticks, etc. The hot bar is expensive too, it’d be cheaper to just get appetizers at a bar. The subs are good however, and I had a nice slice of white pizza once.
My advice is to take a list when you go to Wegmans or you’ll get sidetracked. It’s also worth signing up for the club card since you’ll get coupons and a free reusable tote.
