Was talking to a woman from MD recently.
She had come over to Leesburg initially to check out the new Wegmans.
Discovered there was a Cosco and checked out Shoppers across the street.
She compared savings to a Giant in Germantown.
Her savings more than pay for the $7 car ferry (Whites Ferry) trip on a “stock up” run.
Shoppers and Wal Mart are duking it out for low prices.
Shoppers has produce, the Leesburg Wal Mart does not.
Large $1 red bell peppers–in the dead of winter–aren’t these usually $4?
Wegmans and Harris Teeter jostle for customer service points.
HT is the winner.
Wegmans may have the bling but some new staff have New York grouchiness (Wegmans is from NY)–not a plus in the southland.
Leesburg still has a bit of Winchester in it, 2000s country club wave notwithstanding.
The Leesburg Home Depot has launched a major friendliness offensive as it was revealed Lowe’s purchased land nearby.
Leesburg Outlets zone also has (all are “marketplace” grocery stores):
- SuperTarget
- Giant
- Bloom
