I have shopped at Wegmans in Massachusetts and Loblaws all around the GTA and Wegmans comes out on top by a mile for me. Excellent quality, just a great experience all around.

...but best in the world?
Just looking at photos and one of their flyers,mind you, but their stores look like a lot of good grocery stores. They seem to be doing what other stores in the US and Canada tend to do. Make it more " European "...one Wegman's I saw used Boulangerie instead of bakery.
Incredible grocery shopping is done all over the world, especially food halls in Japan and the UK.

I just said I like it more than Loblaws. How could anyone really determine what the best grocery experience is in the entire world lol
Either way I enjoy breaking up my shopping. I have a place I buy fish, a place I buy meat, cheese, etc...but if I am shopping under one roof Wegmans is pretty damn good. I like them more than Whole Foods as well.

My response was more directed at ABQConvict's post about it possibly being the best chain in the world.
I agree, best is sooooooooo subjective, as I've said in earlier posts.

Well, that doesn't mean much. North America's food traditions come from Europe. I am pretty sure you can find a bakery in Canada, outside Quebec, called a "Boulangerie" and run by anglos with nary a French connection since William the Bastard's day.
Oh, and my comment about Wegman's being "best in the world" was a bit of toungue-in-cheek hyperbole based on how its fans talk about it. I do believe it is a good store, but 'best in the world' is subjective by any measure.

It does mean much. It's a marketing strategy purposely used by some grocery stores. I'm not saying it's wrong, just that in the context of this thread, it's interesting that European cache in non-European stores sells. It works in Japan as well.

I think Wegmans is great. The first time I went into one of their larger stores I was just blown away. A bit pricey but still awesome.

I don't know if Wegmans is the best grocery chain in the world but it's one of the most impressive I've witnessed.
