Talk:Weis Markets

message: The article says, "Weis thrives in the rural areas, small towns, and third class cities".   
What exactly is a third class city?  It sounds derogatory.  Unless someone can substantiate why it's not a derogatory phrase, it should be removed from the article.  199.46.245.232 (talk) 23:59, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's just a classification of cities that Pennsylvania commonly uses. It simply means the population is between 10,000 and 80,000 residents. --Rkitko (talk) 00:06, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I've heard that Weis Markets also owns Superpetz, but I haven't found any information about this either way, but I added this to the article. If anyone has any information about this, let me know.
:You're right; Weis owns them. --Captadam 01:06, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm thinking that as an expririment we should remove the semi-protection, since I'm sure by now the vandal has forgotten all about this page, so that unregistered users can edit the page again. However, if the vandalism strikes again, I'd suggest putting a more permanent semi-protection, however.--MVillani1985 00:55, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

text: We'll see how it goes.  This one, apparently from Altoona, PA, doesn't appear to be an AOL IP:  -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 18:47, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Relentless, again. I vote for protection. --Captadam 20:04, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Still Altoona, PA; apparently he's got a new IP address from Verizon: 71.162.44.179 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • RDNS • block user • [ block log]).  Still not enough vandalism for protection, though. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 20:30, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I think maybe this was a bad idea in retrospect. I just noticed the black bear stuff was posted again. --MVillani1985 12:39, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I noticed that this page has been recently vandalized with the stuff about the black bear haunting and the farting stuff, with the usual additions all related to the "farting" theme. Maybe this should be semi-protected again... MVillani1985 22:47, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think if he shows up again with another IP, use the finalwarming template and block indefinately if he doesn't stop. MVillani1985 22:35, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: We don't indef-block IP's unless it's clear they're static.  I've blocked a couple of his dynamic IP's, and issued a schoolblock.  If it happens more than occasionally, the article can be semi-protected, but it's not significant enough right now. Acroterion (talk) 22:39, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  It Happened Again?! 

message: Why is this notable?  There are other Grocery stores in PA that can sell beer, seems like more of an ad than anything else.  I think it should be removed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.163.17.41 (talk) 16:30, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

message: I work at Weis Markets... and it's something small, but TopCare, ValuTime, Paws Premium and Full Circle etc are not actually house brands of Weis, but rather they are owned by TopCo, of which Weis Markets is a member of. TopCo Member List More information about the brands they offer can be found along the menu of the site; they actually appear to supply competitors as well...
I am just not sure if it is truly worth making the change, or at least to point out that it's simply a 'National Private Brand' so to speak. Silvershot10 (talk) 05:46, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Private Brand Labels 

message: I am a longtime shopper of Weis stores, mainly in the Lehigh Valley, and have never heard its name pronounced other than like "wise"; in fact this is the first of their frequently-asked questions at https://www.weismarkets.com/faq. For this same reason, I am adding cross-references to both this page and that of Wise Foods, whose products, also made in Pennsylvania, are sold in Weis stores.
