Wegmans is beloved with a passion that transcends reason. Here's what it was like on opening day at its Brooklyn store. rtsugar reports
The store’s debut was rainy, but festive. Photo: Mark Abramson They gathered in the dark, in the rain. They came with umbrellas, and with rolling carts. They came with friends, roommates, lovers, neighbors; from Marine Park, Greenpoint, Massapequa, Long Island. San Antonio. They came because at 7 a.m. yesterday, the first Wegmans in New York City opened its doors.
Everyone wants to have their minds blown, which is why Wegmans newbies are here, too. “What I’m hoping for is the chance to be surprised,” says Nadia, who has never before been inside a Wegmans. “I go to the Key Food around the corner, and I know exactly what I’m going to pick out every single time,” she says. Here at Wegmans, she’s ready to experience that surprise.

She is wearing a neon pink hoodie that says “Women of Wegmans.” She tells me she is one of six such women, who make it their business to attend the stores’ openings nationwide. “People ask me, Why do we fly all the way back east to go to a Wegmans opening?” she explains, anticipating my first question.
