Calling all Foodies! There's a new supermarket in town and it's fantabulous....
There has been so much hype about this new store on the tv, that I finally drove the 30 minutes from my home in Acton, MA to Northborough, MA. The minute I stepped into the store I was excited and amazed at the enormity of the place. Even though they have been open for over two months, there were lots of customers looking as happy as me.
It was lunchtime, so I headed towards the cafe and ready to eat foods, which is located to the right of the entrance. I couldn't believe my eyes, there was everything you could possibly want. In the mood for some fried calamari or have a hankering for a hearty pub burger? The Market Café offers restaurant-quality fresh and prepared foods to enjoy in the store’s dining areas that seat 300 (offering free WiFi), or take-out to eat at home or the office. One room even has a roaring fireplace while another features a train table and enticing toys sure to attract the younger set. The café includes a dizzying array of foods including a coffee shop, panini station, sub shop, sushi bar, vegetarian bar, wokery, pizza shop, soup station and food bar.
Everything at Wegmans is larger than life. The store itself is 138,000 square feet – almost three acres and bigger than two football fields. The grocery store offers 70,000 products, while most other stores offer only 40,000. They stock 300 specialty cheeses in our store along with 700 different fruits and vegetables. If you want fresh fish, the Day Boat Station offers fish caught that day.
Wegmans, a family-owned business first founded in 1916 as a fresh produce pushcart, has always been ahead of its time. The Wegman brothers made national headlines when they opened a 20,000-square-foot food store in 1930 that included a cafeteria that seated 300. Today the chain’s innovations continue to draw loyal customers. Before even opening in Northborough, over 25,000 people signed up online for Wegmans Shoppers Club Card.
Wine, spirits and beer are also available in the 15,000-square-foot space devoted to over 600 varieties of domestic and imported beers, $6 wine selections, and a “Craft Your Own Pack” feature that allows customers to fill a six-pack with any six beers from a wide selection.
Shopping is easy with wide aisles and over 30 cashiers, ready to open their register if there are more than two people already in any line.
Wegmans is also well known for its extensive community outreach efforts. These include offering customers a selection of produce from area farms such as Carlson Apples, Confrida Farms and Sid Wainer & Sons, and supporting regional food banks. In Northborough, the store has been a boon to the economy, offering jobs to 600 locals.
Wegmans Food Market is now open from 6 a.m. to midnight every day, and is located at Northborough Crossing next to T.J. Maxx at 9102 Shops Way.
Happy Shopping!
