Supermarket Grab-and-Go Sandwiches

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Wegmans' Meals2Go Program Offers Gourmet Grab-and-Go Sandwiches

— August 3, 2021 — Lifestyle
Beloved food market, Wegmans, offers customers its gourmet grab-and-go sandwiches as part of the superstore's Meals2Go initiative. The program features several on-the-go food options for busy shoppers. Customers can pick up a quick meal while shopping from one of Wegmans' various food stands, including smoothies, pizza, bakery items, ready-to-cook meals, and sandwiches.

Wegmans' fresh and gourmet sandwiches are available at a grab-and-go stand display. Located halfway between the store's fresh product and buffet foods, the Gourmet-&-Go Grab&-Go Sandwiches incorporates elements from both departments. The sandwiches take a step up from the ordinary with their fresh ingredients. Wegmans' goal is to transform the typical lunchtime item into a gourmet and on-the-go option for hungry and busy shoppers.
