Welcome to the Concordville Wegmans!
This store is not only the first Wegmans featured on the blog, but also the first Wegmans I've ever been to! The Concordville location opened on November 8, 2015 as the anchor to Brandywine Mills. This is currently the only Wegmans in Delaware County. They had plans for a store in Broomall, which fell through in 2016 after protests over developing the center. This Wegmans, however, obviously did materialize, so let's check it out!
In typical Wegmans fashion, produce is straight ahead upon entering the store. The grand aisle continues to the right, with grocery aisles to the left.
Old fashioned subs and pizza are on the front wall by The Buzz.
Just beyond there, we find the Wegmans Wine & Beer Shop, with the Market Cafe behind it. This store doesn't have a balcony for people eating in-store, but it does have outdoor seating.
Asian foods and sushi are across from the alcohol section. I've always liked how Wegmans makes all of their departments look like a storefront. It almost reminds me of Disney World in a way.
A large bakery takes up most of the space between produce and the grand aisle. I've had Wegmans bakery products a few times before, and I've always enjoyed them.
The seafood market is in an island, while the meat department is on the perimeter under an awning.
Similarly, as we get to the back wall, we find the cheese shop in an island and the charcuterie and delicatessen departments on the wall. Funny how at Wegmans, the deli, usually the most prominent department in a supermarket, is one of the last we see.
Dairy runs down the back wall of the store. There's the famous Wegmans train!
The pharmacy department is in aisle 2 along with health and beauty products.
Paper products and other general merchandise are in the final aisle of the store. While 16 aisles doesn't sound like a lot for a 140,000 square foot store, the grand aisle is so huge it's surprising they even got that many aisles in.
A pretty quiet front end.

I believe the only change that has been made to the store since this photo was the removal of the pub inside in 2021.

1.9 miles away: Acme of Concordville
Next week, we'll be heading just up the road to the Acme of Concordville. This store opened in 2008 and is still the newest purpose-built Acme in the chain today. It also retains its original decor from when it first opened.
2.6 miles away: GIANT of West Chester
Last week, we completed the West Chester group with the GIANT store in the Shoppes at Dilworthtown Crossing. This store opened in 2002 and was recently remodeled to GIANT's current decor. You can step inside the store by clicking here.
Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at this Wegmans. I would like to come back sometime and do some actual shopping, instead of just taking photos and rushing through. Have a great weekend and be safe if you're one of the many people getting snowed in right now (myself included). Thank you for reading this post, and I'll see you next week!
