Wegmans | Malvern, PA

 

50 Foundry Way

Welcome to the Malvern Wegmans!

Malvern is home to the headquarters of Acme Markets, but, interestingly, they don't operate any stores in town. Wegmans, however, does, and we'll be seeing their store today. It opened on July 18, 2010 as a co-anchor to the new Uptown Worthington shopping center along with a Target. It's quite similar to Concordville, which we saw in January. They're both 140,000 square feet and have a very similar layout, but Malvern felt slightly larger to me. Let's head inside!

We immediately discover delicious as we see the produce department, located on the left side of the grand aisle.

The Buzz, the Wegmans coffee shop that I didn't get a picture of in Concordville, and old fashioned subs are to your right on the front wall. The market cafe follows through that archway.

The bakery is across from old fashioned subs as the grand aisle continues. I guess Wegmans doesn't play when it comes to fresh bread.

Sushi is on the right wall and other pre-packaged foods are in the middle of the grand aisle. Anyone on r/wegmans will know how hated Wegmans's pre-made pizza slices are.

The delicatessen neighbors the bakery, while the meat and seafood counters are across from it.

A look at the packaged meats as we head through this archway into the center store.

The cheese cave is behind produce.

This Wegmans had a flower section in this spot that we did not see in Concordville. The Acme in Paoli that we'll be touring next week also had a very large floral department. I guess the people of Malvern and Paoli love their horticulture (as a Village ShopRite would say).

The iconic dairy train was blowing off some steam above the dairy department.

Chips and salty snacks can be found in aisle 8b.

This store's beer department is in the next aisles over. Concordville had this section near the Market Cafe.

There's no such thing as getting dehydrated in the last aisle of the store.

A blurry look at the front end of the store.

Malvern's pharmacy department is much more accessible from the front of the store than Concordville's. And that concludes this tour!

1.8 miles away: GIANT of Frazer

Last week, we took a look around the Frazer GIANT just down the road, which retains the Clemens decor it's had for the past two decades.

3.3 miles away: Acme of Paoli

And next week, we're headed to Paoli to see their Acme. The company has been in Paoli since 1954, but this particular store opened on February 11, 1999, one day before its twin, the Folsom store.

And that's all for this tour! Like Concordville, I found that this was a nice store but difficult to get pictures of. Most Wegmans are very busy and the layout is not great for taking photos, but I would imagine nobody's designing stores with that in mind. I'll see you next week at the Paoli Acme, which has a layout very familiar to me! See you then! The Retail Connection: Every day you get our best.
