Buffalo Grocery Review: Wilson Farms

· · 🌡️ 75°F

Wilson Farms (http://www.wilsonfarms.com/) 304 Elmwood/Summer
Buffalo, NY 14222

This store is located in the North-west corner of the Elmwood-Summer crossing. It has a produce section, but its a high-end (read expensive) version of Wegmans/Tops. The variety of produce is quite impressive but the prices are somewhat higher than what you would be comfortable with, on a daily basis. I would rank its price range in between Tops and Lexington Co-op. It has a generic ATM within its premises. The store also retails NFTA Metro Passes, and some odd auto magazines.

Today, this shop had cucumbers, celery, green bell peppers, limes, lemons, strawberries, peaches, watermelons, apples, oranges, lettuce, grapes, mushrooms, radishes, bananas, onions, potatoes and tomatoes.

In addition to the produce, the shop has the usual 100 million snacks, 200 million soda varieties, about 5 million types of frozen foods, fresh coffee, doughnuts and stuff coated with a triple layer of sugar, candies, a whole range of canned food, cold sandwiches, cleaning supplies and brick-brack, fruit juices and a small section of about 15 different cheeses.

Wilson Farms: Probably good for a big produce emergency but not for daily shopping.

    Wilson Farms vary from store to store in what they carry and the prices they charge.

    Wilson Farms used to owned Ahold the parent corporation of Tops. Right now, it seems to me that ex-Tops Management is running Wilson Farms.

    That Wilson farms is like any other normal corner store but a little bit better. If you head down elmwood to Aurburn that Wilson Farms is much better (it used to be at least) Not to mention it is about twice the size. Not sure if they still do but they used to have a Deli where you can have them cut meat for you. Not sure if they do that anymore or if it cut there and then packaged. Plus the vieritey of goods was a lot more but that was years ago. I would assume that since they are a lot bigger the selection of odd ball food items is still about the same. It used to be worth the extra travel time to go there, but I'm biased since I used to work there. On a side note for the stuff I buy I go to the one that is close.
