(By DCist contributor Amadie Hart)

Last week, DCist discussed the Wegmans phenomenon, in which otherwise sane and rational people are driving 25-30 miles to shop for groceries in a very cool store. Now, Wegmans has announced the grand opening date of its newest area store, at Fairfax Corner in Virginia. At 7:00 a.m. on Sunday, February 13, the chain will throw open the doors of the store at 11620 Monument Drive in Fairfax, bringing organic produce, hard-to-find items, and high quality prepared foods a little closer to D.C. This is especially good news for hopeless romantics who are unable to cook—you can pick up a pre-prepared gourmet meal and wine with which to impress your sweetheart just in time for Valentines Day.
