Letter: One more reason to welcome Wegmans to Columbia

July 20, 2012

In response to the reader who was so "mystified" by your support of the coming of Wegmans to our area ("More coverage needed of neighborhood stores," June 28): The stores she lauds had no interest in accommodating residents of Wilde Lake when the plans for the village center were in the making, in spite of the potential for business the additional housing would provide. (Bad business decision?)

They have had a captive "audience" in the village centers for years. Now that we have a choice, being "loyal" to some of them who have horrendous markups (David's and Supersaver) is not feasible in this economy.

Welcome, Wegmans!
