I've been to several on my travels to the Northeast and seek them out for lunch and dinner while on the road. Grocery business in Atlanta is competitive with new players like Aldi and Lidl taking market share on the discount end (but with very good private label goods). Having Wegman's enter the mix would definitely take market share on the high end from Whole Foods and Publix.

The GA Builders Association has/is experiencing similar issues, so I've been told. This could be the downfall, even if Wegmans is attempting to open the location.
