Just what that area needs, another grocery store!

How many are there now in that section off of Jefferson?

Farm Fresh, Wal-Mart, Whole Foods, Fresh Market, Costco, and Trader Joe's are all in like a 2 mile radius of that location.

Sweetie, Wegs is not just a grocery store- its the disneyfication of food shopping. I go there for dates its so awesome and fun. When I'm in NN, I usually shop at FoodLion in Denbigh and get specialty items at Harris Teeter down Warwick. I have all the shopping you mention above in FFX County but I drive 20 mins and pass many supermarkets to get to Wegmans. Its Fabulous!! ps go get a job there- consistently ranked in the top 100 places to work in the US by Forbes.

Wegman's would be a fabulous addition. I only went to one once but you could spend all day in that place. It's that much fun! It has little restaurants and every kind of food you could think of. And it's beautiful too.

I hope you are correct about Wegmans. They just had meeting with our neighborhood and will be opening here in 2018.

Oh, Lordie ! I wish Wegmans would come to Brunswick County, NC ! We live in Southern NJ and this has to be the best shopping experience EVER! I have written the company several times begging them to come further South!! Right now it looks like when we move in two years I will be driving to Raleigh for WEgmans, or loading up when I drive back north every several months to see my kids and grandkids !! YES, that is how much people who shop at Wegmans LOVE Wegmans. It's totally unlike anything you have ever experienced before!! We actually go to dinner there every week!!! awesome !!

Maybe they will. They're set to build their first store in NC (Cary). And, yes, they're still moving forward with it.

Lakeland, Florida-based supermarket Publix is entering Virginia with two stores in Bristol (2017) and Glen Allen (2018). It is another grocer that could make its way into the Hampton Roads area.
