Wegmans Food Markets

The grocer probed for the challenges behind consumers' meal shopping and purchasing decisions with an online survey.

Further rollout of the self-checkout units to other stores will depend on customer reception, and as digital photography rises in popularity, in-store photo departments are becoming a thing of the past.

Storefront signs may not be replaced for some time because of the cost.

The grocer said it will replace all of its old trucks with the new, greener rigs by 2010.

The store brand products are part of a larger recall by manufacturer MARS Petcare US, which has also pulled four Pedigree dog food SKUs among other items.

Affected products now include challah bread and store-made baked bagels, bialys, and rolls sold in the grocer's bakery departments between June 19 and Sept. 11.

The grocer's packaged bagels in the dairy and frozen food departments aren't included in the recall.

The 140,000-square-foot unit will be in a mixed-used development.
