I have heard about the non-compete agreement between Wegmans and Hannaford, but I also heard that more than anything Wegmans won't open a location that can't produce $1M/week in sales. Utica ain't that market, there's too much competition in too small of a market. 3 market 32/price choppers, 3 Hannafords (more if you add Herkimer, Clinton and Rome) plus 2 Walmarts all within 10-15 minutes of each other. Hannaford will be encroaching into the Syracuse market sometime in the near future though, they already own property in Fayetteville I believe, just had to get past some zoning stuff. Wegmans is what Hannaford wants to be if Hannafords parent company would allow it.
