Yes, we are aware of the 'buzz' that surrounded the opening of the new Wegmans out in Concordville.
That's one of the reasons we gave the story the amount of coverage we did. Full confession here. Don't ask me why, but every time we put a story about Wegmans on our website, it draws eyeballs.
I guess just as the store draws customers. That was certainly true early Sunday morning, when several hundred people already were lined up with carts in hand waiting for the 7 a.m. grand opening of the new store.
Some were longtime Wegmans 'faithful' who had been trekking to Downingtown or Malvern to peruse their favorite store.
But make no mistake.
There is another story at work here.
Wegmans is serving as an economic blockbuster out in Concord, fueling a new type of shopping center.
Clothes are out; professional services and even more food are in.
We talk about that aspect today on our editorial page.
