It's finally here! Wegmans launched its iPhone app complete with shopping lists, weekly flyer, prescription refill, product database, cooking videos and tons of recipes, among other features.
Wegmans in Gainesville, Va., (officially known as Wegmans Lake Manassas) opened today. The Washington Post provided this story with this unique aspect about the store:
Although each store offers a similar selection of goods, Dempsey said the decor varies. Each store has a mural along the back wall representing the region. The Gainesville store's mural depicts scenes such as the cherry blossoms in the District and the Shenandoah mountains. And the mural would not be complete, Dempsey said, without a scene of the Manassas Battlefield.
Now add Mount Vernon in Fairfax County to the list of locations for Wegmans in Northern Virginia. According to an article in the Mount Vernon Gazette:

Wegmans Grocery is finally coming to Mount Vernon-Lee districts. But, primarily to Lee District, since the plot of land of its future home only contains a small corner in Mount Vernon District.
That was the word delivered by Lynne J. Strobel, Esq., of Walsh, Colucci, Lubeley & Walsh to members of the Mount Vernon-Lee Chamber of Commerce during their luncheon last Thursday at Belle Haven Country Club. "Wegmans is 100 percent committed to this project," she said.
The project she was talking about, to be known as "The Hilltop Village Center," will be located at the intersection of Telegraph Road and Beulah Street, presently home to a construction and demolition debris landfill operation and a nine hole golf course.
This fall's Wegmans magazine is now available at the grocery store. Italian food is the theme and some of the recipes look good. As usual, I like to try many of the recipes and this magazine does provide nutritional information, which is critical. But, as usual, this magazine introduces all sorts of new products that you can now, conveniently enough, purchase pre-packaged at Wegmans.
Earlier this week, Wegmans recalled bagels and bialys. Tonight, add Challah bread and in-store baked rolls.
According to WHEC-TV in Rochester, the baked goods were sold in Wegmans' bakery departments between June 19 and today; the products could contain pieces of metal from a broken mixer.
Customers may return the product to Wegmans for a full refund or call the Wegmans consumer affairs department at 1-800-WEGMANS.
