This Fall, Enjoy Fresh Maryland Crabs Outside on the Patio at Wegmans

Through October, diners craving fresh Maryland crabs need only to visit their local Wegmans, in Malvern, PA (50 Foundry Way, 484-913-9660), King of Prussia, PA (1 Village Drive, 484-690-3560) and Collegeville, PA (600 Commerce Drive, 484-902-1560), for their fun, seasonal Crab Fest. Working with Maryland’s Harris Crab House, the stores will offer fresh live and steamed blue crabs outside on the patio; guests can pre-order crabs to take home or stay and enjoy the festive atmosphere.

“We’ve always been committed to sourcing the finest fresh, local food for our guests – and Harris’ blue crabs are taken from the water, put into their truck and literally driven right to our door, where we steam them and pour them out on picnic tables for Crab Fest,” says Kathy Haines, director of Wegmans in-store restaurants and Market-Cafes. “We’re bringing the best of the Chesapeake Bay inland and offering the tastiest, freshest crabs available.”

Crab Fest will be held at Wegmans locations across the region, including: Collegeville on Sunday, September 9 and Saturday, October 27; King of Prussia on Sunday, September 16; and Malvern on Sunday, October 7. Beginning at noon and continuing until 5 p.m., Harris Crab House will park their truck in front of the store and serve steamed crabs to guests on the patio. Crabs are $33 per dozen, and are also available by the ½ bushel ($79 for approximately 36 crabs) and the bushel ($150 for approximately 72 crabs).

During Crab Fest events, guests are encouraged to interact with the Harris Crab House team, who will be steaming the crabs to order. Guests who prefer to take their crab feast to-go can pre-order them either live or steamed by contacting the Wegmans Catering Department; two days’ notice is required for any pre-order.

For more information about the Wegmans Crab Fest, please call any of the three locations or visit www.wegmans.com.

Several Local Businesses Closing Up Shop

Over the next couple of months, three local businesses will be closing their doors. On Saturday, February 16th, Polka Dots will be closing their store at 246 Bridge Street. The shop, a women's clothing boutique, opened nearly two and a half years ago but has recently found business slow. --- Originally, (owner Susan) Randels said that the store was doing well, but that the momentum could not keep up. "The things that sold in Paoli didn't sell in Phoenixville," she said, adding that some customers thought that the store was too expensive or the sizing did not go high enough (size 12 being the highest size sold). "We tried everything." Randels also said that parking was an issue for many of her customers who could either not find spaces or did not feel safe parking behind the store. --- Polka Dots remains open until the 16th, with hours on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. The phone number is 610-935-5914.
