Re: “Plaza scrutiny begins”
Competion is good people! As a former Wegmans Corporate employee, I heartily agree with Mike's comments. As a customer, navigating through the Pittsford Wegmans is an ordeal starting with the parking lot. I've been stuck in gridlock that stretches far out on Monroe Ave., right turning lane for it nothwithstanding. It's a giant pain just to get a chance to troll for a spot. Then there's the insanity inside: from the crazy human gridlock in the Prepared Foods area on the building's east side (talk about CONGESTION!) to the ridiculously long journey to the western side to get actual groceries. I'm pretty sure it's 220,000 SQ FT from one end to the other.
The Danielle's are going to GREAT lengths to avoid these pitfalls while bringing a WORLD CLASS shopping experience to this area. I was ecstatic when Trader Joe's came to Pittsford Plaza. But Whole Foods is going to take Brighton to a whole new level. I am so excited that, like MRROC, I won't have to go to bigger cities to shop there. My hometown area of Ridgewood, NJ has a Whole Foods that's a calm enclave in a tiny Village setting. Tri-state traffic is usually nuts, but there it's easy peasy in and out. Just think how cool that's going to be here in WNY--FINALLY!
BTW, I will be present at the Town hall Meeting on September 9th. I suggest other supporters follow suit so this project moves forward.
