Within a 10-mile radius of the new store, there are already 64,000 people who have Wegmans’ Shoppers Club card.</p></div>
<p>At last!</p>
<p>Sometimes the impossible just takes a little longer.   That’s the case for Wegmans’ new 123,000 sq. ft. King of Prussia store located at the intersection of North Gulph and North Warner Roads, which opened Sunday, May 6th.</p>
<p>It was 1996 when Wegmans first set its sights on one day opening a store in King of Prussia.  There were 54 Wegmans stores, at the time, in two states (NY and PA), and just 5 of those stores were in Pennsylvania.  The company identified the Greater Philadelphia area as an ideal place for what Wegmans was uniquely positioned to offer:  incredible service and selection, restaurant-quality prepared foods, and low prices.  In the years since, Wegmans has opened stores in South Jersey, and in Downingtown, Warrington, Collegeville, and Malvern, PA, patiently waiting for the time when a site would come together in King of Prussia.</p>
<p>Fast forward to 2012:  There are now 80 Wegmans stores in six states, with 15 in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the list of places finally includes King of Prussia.</p>
<p>“It took a while for us to get here,” says King of Prussia Store Manager Kevin Lang, “so you can imagine how eager we were to open our doors to new shoppers and to those who have traveled the extra distance to shop at our other stores waiting for this one to open.”  Within a 10-mile radius of the new store, there are already 64,000 people who have Wegmans’ Shoppers Club card, and new people are signing up every day on the King of Prussia store’s dedicated web site, according to Lang. </p>
<div id="attachment_1554" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 370px"><a href="http://aroundmainline.com/living/buzz-wegmans-opens-in-king-of-prussia.html/attachment/wegmans-kop-2" rel="attachment wp-att-1554"><img src="http://aroundmainline.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/wegmans-kop-2.jpg" alt="Wall O’ Beer Wegmans boasts over 800 selections of domestic and imported beer!

<p>Lang and his team of 600 employees (550 new-to-the company) have been working for months to hire and train the best and get the place ready for what is expected to be a very successful 2012.    </p>
<p>Executive Chef Chris Happel is part of that team.  His focus:  The Market Café, which seats 300 indoors and outdoors, including The Pub where food is served to order.  &#8220;The Pub at this store has double the seating capacity of our other Pubs,&#8221; says Happel, &#8220;and includes a bar for more than 30 and booth and banquette seating for 80.&#8221; A first for Wegmans, debuting at this store, is an outdoor fireplace for dining al fresco. </p>

<p>The theme for the evening will be ‘A Taste of Italy.’  Chef Weinberg will be creatively pairing complimentary appetizers with Italian beers and Italian wines for a gourmand girl’s dream experience!  A cash bar will be available as well.</p>
<h2>Whinos Attire</h2>
<p>As with all Whinos, business casual attire is highly recommended as we gather to meet and network with the region’s top businesswomen and great gals.  Absolutely no jeans or sweatpants are permitted.  RSVP is not required&#8212;we always welcome walk-ins to Whinos&#8212;but it does greatly help us to plan accordingly with our generous host, Restaurant Alba.</p>
<h2>Featured Female Entrepreneurs</h2>
<p>A new concept we are introducing to each Whinos starting with this March event is ‘Featured Female Entrepreneurs.’  We will highlight one or two local business owners or artists as the special guests of the evening. For the March Whinos, our two featured entrepreneurs are local Etsy artist <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kristen-Stein-Fine-Art/43906373876?ref=ts" target="new">Kristen Stein</a> and Malvern boutique owner Martha Saphier Philpott of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Nota-Bene-Boutique/103540863022742" target="new">Nota Bene Boutique</a>!  Both ladies will be at Alba displaying their fashion, accessories and art for Whinos to purchase&#8212;along with some very fun giveaways for two lucky ladies.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Wednesday-Night-Whinos/149728125061586" target="new" target="new">Wednesday Night Whinos</a> is open to all local women 21 and over, there are no membership fees or obligation.

<div id="attachment_1481" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 318px"><a href="http://aroundmainline.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/uphome-1.jpg"><img src="http://aroundmainline.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/uphome-1.jpg" alt="Linda and Bryce Ritter, of Malvern’s Uphome, are headed to exclusive industry markets in Provence soon to shop for their new Spring inventory!" title="Linda and Bryce Ritter, of Malvern’s Uphome, are headed to exclusive industry markets in Provence soon to shop for their new Spring inventory!" width="308" height="462" class="size-full wp-image-1481" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Linda and Bryce Ritter, of Malvern’s Uphome, are headed to exclusive industry markets in Provence soon to shop for their new Spring inventory!</p></div>
<p>Uphome Limited, a home furnishings store in Malvern specializing in American and French antiques along with customized, one-of-a-kind pieces, is celebrated as AroundMainLine.com’s ‘Boutique of the Month.’</p>
<p>The shop has been a staple of King Street since 2009, after it relocated from its original Glenmoore location.  The spacious, charming two story former bank building originates back to the late nineteenth century.</p>
<p>Owner Linda Ritter’s keen eye for eclectic American design and French country marries perfectly with husband <a href="http://www.bryceritter.com/index.htm" target="new">Bryce Ritter</a>’s handmade, custom designed furniture that is beautifully displayed throughout both floors.  Bryce was named as one of the top 50 designers in America by Country Home Magazine and was commissioned to design several pieces for Camp David (the Presidential Retreat).</p>
<p>“I think one of the things we have going for us is that furniture making is a lost art.  And our customers know we can work with them, use our imagination and design skills along with antique building materials to create something very beautiful and functional,” enthused Linda.</p>
<p>In addition to the vintage furnishings, the shop is ideal for hostess gifts, housewarming presents, handmade jewelry, glassware, linens, home accents, candles, quick pick me ups, and more.</p>
<p>In the rear of the store, their son Kevin recently installed a sample of his beautiful custom kitchen business, <a href="http://www.timelesskitchendesign.net/" target="new">Timeless Kitchen Designs</a>.  Kevin works with only about a dozen clients a year.</p>
<h2>RSVP for the Open House</h2>
<p>On Thursday, March 8th Uphome will host a fun, French wine tasting and Open House from 6pm to 8pm.  <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/227268394034056/" target="new">To RSVP to the party on Facebook, click here</a>!</p>
<h2>Q &amp; A with Linda Ritter</h2>
<p><strong>AroundMainLine.com:</strong> Where do you find all your beautiful pieces?</p>
<p><strong>Linda Ritter:</strong> Most of our furniture is designed and created by Bryce, but we also buy American and French antiques.  I also shop the markets in Atlanta, High Point and New York where I have direct relationships with several of the artists whose work we sell in the shop.</p>
<p><strong>AML:</strong> Talk about Bryce’s background and the pieces he is currently showcasing in the store.</p>
<p><strong>LR:</strong> Bryce has a civil engineering background and worked in architectural engineering for years.  His hobby was building and designing furniture.  He started to do it professionally in 1988 and has been doing it ever since! </p>
<p><strong>AML:</strong>  What makes you standout from other home furnishing stores?</p>
<p><strong>LR:</strong> Bryce builds and designs custom pieces based on customer’s real needs (dimension, color) and uses authentic antique doors, windows, and accents that become family heirlooms for our clients.</p>
<p><strong>AML:</strong> What are some key tips you can offer someone who is looking to freshen up the look of a room in their house?</p>
<p><strong>LR:</strong>  Dash and Albert rugs are bright, cheery and can lighten up and change a room in an instant.  I love the linens from Pine Cole Hill.  Artwork from Sugarboo Designs and Spicher and Company Prints are two additional favorites!</p>
<p><strong>AML:</strong> You will be traveling to France soon to search for more gorgeous pieces for the store. Tell us about it!</p>
<p><strong>LR:</strong>  In March we are headed to the south of France, Provence, where we will shop at small antique markets, brocantes (secondhand markets), and at a major antique event for the trade in Avignon and Montepelier.</p>
