You're 100% right, but they're not coming to VT any time soon. Probably ever.
I actually asked a Wegman's store manager about it once. He said their business model relies on being much closer to their supply chain than other supermarkets. They expand to whole regions at a time. It's not like Burlington just getting a single Target. All northern New England would have to become Wegman's territory, and it probably will never have the population density for that to be cost-effective for Wegman's, that manager thought.

Yeah, that seems reasonable. I'd love to be wrong, that was still the best major grocery chain I've ever shopped at.
