A grocery store with roots in the Rochester area and founded by Danny Wegman. Eventually grew and expanded to become the best damn grocery store that exists, beating out Tops and other major competitors. Listed under Top Places to work in the US by Fortune Magazine. Almost every teenager in the Western NY area has worked at Wegmans at some point in their life and every time you shop there it's like a high school reunion.

Grocery store in the greater Rochester area founded by Robert B. Wegman and now run by his son Danny Wegman and his granddaughters. Today there are 70 stores in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia and Maryland, and Wegman and his company continue to receive accolades. In 2005, Wegmans was named the #1 in Fortune magazine's list of "100 Best Companies to Work For." In 2006, it was listed as #2.
On March 25, 2004 in Philadelphia, Junior Achievement honored Wegman as one of six 2004 laureates to their National Business Hall of Fame, which recognizes “the nation’s most distinguished businessmen and women for their outstanding contributions to free enterprise and the promise of a better, stronger society.” He joined George Eastman and Joseph Wilson, the only other Rochester business people to have received this honor.

A grocery store chain founded in Rochester, New York in the early 20th century, and now found across the northeastern United States. Still mainly concentrated in the Rochester area. The best grocery store in existence. Unlike Tops or Wal-Mart, really makes you feel at home. Also sells amazing sub sandwiches.
