Development in and Around Syracuse Discussion

In case you didn’t know, there is a TJ on Erie Blvd.

I love TJ's but not when I can go to a Wegmans.

Yes, but downtown really needs something like a TJ or mini-Wegmans to lure even more millennials and empty-nesters.

Wegmans is missing the boat with development of smaller urban grocery stores for NE cities

Someone is missing the boat. I think Wegmans has figured their business model out.

They are building one in Alexandria.

The Food Lion of the north...

I don’t believe that Wegmans has any stores within the city limits. I think their former store on Pond St closed in 2012 had been their only one. Their stores in Western Lights and on James St are both just outside the city limits.

They have a smaller one on the north side. It's on James St.

The one at Western Lights has good affordable seafood and good bagels.
I can't believe that Wegmans charges $26.99 a pound for cooked shrimp!

Outside of city limits. Everything East of Thompson Rd is the Village of East Syracuse.

Seafood is the one area Price Chopper has always done it right...

Hannaford is better for seafood (in Albany area)

Going to both works for us!

Hannaford is a nice chain. I encountered my first one on a trip to Vermont when I was under consideration for a job with IBM up there in Burlington.

They are building downtown Wegmans store in Alexandria at Eisenhower Ave (The one you are referencing) and Reston currently. I wouldnt be surprised if they plan a couple more in the DC metro. It's popular around here even with just the few stores they have currently.

Alexandria and Reston will be Urban Versions of Wegmans, but they are supposed to still be massive properties. They are building one right behind my office building in Reston Town Center that should be open by 2021 I believe if I'm remembering correctly.

Also, I just saw that Wegmans is opening an Urban location in Brooklyn slated to open later this year.

"The Brooklyn store is one of three new locations — all in new markets — due to open this year, lifting the grocery chain over the 100-store mark. The company opened a 113,000-square-foot store in Virginia Beach, Va., on April 28 and is planning a 100,000-square-foot store in Raleigh, N.C. No opening date has been announced yet for the Raleigh location."

"In late October, the retailer announced a fifth planned location for North Carolina, in Wake Forest. Other stores slated for the state are in Cary, West Cary and Chapel Hill.

Other new stores planned by Wegmans include locations in Greenville, Del.; Annapolis and Rockville, Md.; Washington, D.C. (in the former Fannie Mae campus); Alexandria, Arcola, Reston and Tysons Corner, Va.; and Middletown, N.J."

They're supposed to open one in DC on Wisconsin Ave, in the old Fannie Mae building.
They're really expanding a lot in the DC metro area.

It's almost enough to move back to DC.

The wegmans in Virginia Beach is insane.
