I've been living in Austin for the past two years, and shopping mostly at the Whole Foods world headquarters. I'm not sure what the big deal is about this place - overpriced for the quality, service is ho-hum, prepared foods are nothing special, etc. Wegmans absolutely crushes it.

  There certainly isn't a Wegmans in Austin that I know of. I don't think there is one within 1000 miles.

Ten years ago the quality difference between Whole Foods and a Kroger/mid-tier-chain was something akin to the contrast between a US grocery store and a Soviet grocery store in the 1980’s. The big chains have closed the gap.

Would anybody who has shopped both Wegmans and California's Nugget chain care to contrast them?
