I was at the Scranton-Wilkes Barre store over the weekend and noticed the farm fresh delivery signs at the front door -- a map of where food local food was delivered from and what was new in the market. I thought it was a great visual I hadn't noticed at other stores. Here's more info from Wegmans about buying local food, which helps promote sustainable living.
Loop developer Kevin Giblin confirmed that Wegmans, a regional
supermarket chain with stores in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Virginia and Maryland, is the anchor tenant that he is hoping to land
for his retail development at the intersection of routes 9 and 20.

For years, the residents of Prince William County and the politicians who represented them hoped for a classy revitalization of the county's Route 1 corridor.
White-tablecloth restaurants, department stores and upscale grocery stores would offer an alternative to the run-down strip malls and fast food joints that line the stretch of highway to the east.
Few plans elicited as much passion from residents as the one to bring a Wegmans grocery store to Woodbridge.
A response from Wegmans to a fellow blogger:
What follows is a list of planned stores, which for the most part, do not as yet have defined construction schedules.
Confirmed Opening Dates:
• Woodbridge, VA, Summer 2008
Opening Dates Yet to Be Determined:
• Malvern, PA
• Leesburg, VA
• Lake Manassas, VA
• Frederick, MD
• Crofton, MD
• Landover, MD
• Columbia, MD
• Fredericksburg, VA
• Collegeville, PA
Project On Hold for Future Consideration:
• Turnersville, NJ
Wegmans is now offering tea rooms and 60 varieties of tea.
I'm not a tea fan, but I'm sure many people will try these tea rooms out if/when they make it to a store near you.
