Wegmans.  Whole Foods.  Trader Joe's.

Now that it appears that Pathmark is out for Bart Blatstein's long-awaited supermarket/shopping center novella, the Shops at Schmidts. Let's just say that the neighborhood was not surprised after A&P, Pathmark's parent company, filed for bankruptcy late last year. After Pathmark began to close stores, many of us got to wondering: Would the Northern Liberties opening fall through?

According to Philly.com, Blatstein is moving on to Plan B, which means fulfilling his goal of having a supermarket chain in the space, whether it's Pathmark or something else.  

We're voting for Wegmans, because there's no Philadelphia location yet, and this space looks to be big enough for the boutique grocery mecca. It'd be something different, and would suit the tastes of the Top Chef-obsessed, organic-buying-inclined Northern Liberties homeowners.

But we'll take anything...we just want a supermarket. We'll keep you posted!

What do you think?

I would not live anywhere that didn't have a Wegmans, now that I have one in my neighborhood!  I hope you get a Wegmans in yours!

We don't have a Wegman's in Lancaster either. Our closest one is in Chester Co.(Downingtown).
