ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Wegmans Food Markets on Thursday said it would freeze prices for more than 60 items beginning Sunday and lasting until Aug. 25.
This move follows the expiration of Wegmans’ winter list, introduced in January, with prices guaranteed through April 28.
“People are more hopeful about the economy, but gas prices remain a huge concern,” Colleen Wegman, Wegmans president, said in a statement. “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.”

Wegmans’ summer list includes 62 products and reflects the change in customer shopping patterns once warmer weather hits. It includes such things as condiments, hot dog and hamburger rolls, marinated chicken breast, Italian sausage, littleneck clams, fresh salad greens, sunscreen and over-the-counter allergy medications. The list is almost exclusively made up of Wegmans-brand products.
The company said it would publish the entire list of items in the program at its website Sunday.
