Wegmans Freezes Prices on Summer Products

More than 60 products often bought during the summer months will not rise in price at Wegmans.

Supermarket will be freezing prices on over 60 products which families buy most often during the summer. The price freeze went into effect on Sunday, April 29 and will last through Saturday, Aug. 25.

Even if the retail prices of these products rise, Wegmans will not increase their prices during this period.

“People are more hopeful about the economy, but gas prices remain a huge concern,” Wegmans President Colleen Wegman said.  “Customers have told us that it gives them peace of mind to know that prices won’t change for an extended period of time. It helps with planning and budgeting, and they are saving enough on groceries to more than offset the extra they are paying at the fuel pump.”

The list of 62 products that Wegmans will not raise in price are indicative of what customers purchase in warmer weather including hot dogs and hamburger rolls, marinated chicken breast, Italian sausage, littleneck clams, fresh salad greens, sunscreen and over-the-counter allergy medications. Since Wegmans can be more aggressive with pricing for their own brand, the list of products consists of mostly the Wegmans brand.

“We can’t freeze prices on every product we sell, but it’s important to say that beyond this list, we will keep prices low," Wegman said. "Our prices on the products families buy week in and out are 10 to 15 percent lower than other supermarkets.”
