It’s Wegman’s. Started in Rochester, NY. Mostly in the NE and mid-Atlantic states, but spreading. Lots of pre-made and specialty foods. Caters to people who have lots of money and don’t like to cook.

Thanks very much and the locales explain why I’ve never heard of the chain.

Wegman’s. It’s the best. We shopped there when we lived in Corning, NY. Until then, my fave was Carr’s in Alaska.

People who don't like to cook? Pffft! People who do like to cook go there; you can find far more different kinds of ingredients and foods to use than Kroger.
