82-84 W Main Street was sold by Carl Raimond on June 26, 1998 to "Wegman Building Associates LLC" for $75,000. No idea if they're related to the owners of the supermarkets. —sub619

2016-12-07 01:07:12   The Wegman building at 80 West Main is the first store in the current Wegmans empire of super markets. Through the 60s, 70s and 80s it was owned by Mario Cerame's investment group. The building was always half occupied by government offices since Mario's Brother Mike was a Civil Service Commissioner.

The basement still contained large wood walk in coolers in the late 70s, and there were still vegitables in the original vegitable cooler. Since the stench was only evident when the cooler door was open, the door was forced closed again and padlocked.

Originally the upper floors were storage space for drygoods in the time before tractor trailer delivery. The enclosed loading dock is off the alley to the East of the building.

Until they burned in the 70s, there was a restaurant immediately West of Wegmans, and Bryans Drug Store and lunch counter famous because the Bryan sisters, both Pharmacists, kept the drug store open until Midnight. —WaltSuiter
