Pronto No Mo'?!

Picture-11

For the unlucky patrons of Wegmans supermarkets, at least. The grocery store chain is pulling the plug on the wine kiosks in its 10 locations across Pennsylvania. Apparently customers haven't been too happy with them and they don't work, or something, so the automated vendors are getting the axe. What does this mean for our own beloved spirit supplier in FroGro? Will they follow suit and get rid of the wonky vendor, forcing lazy winos to make the trek to 41st and Market to get their fix? The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board says it will focus on improving the remaining 22 kiosks still in operation (that means ours!). Happy FroGro-goers were spotted using the machine Monday afternoon, and considering customer satisfaction and efficiency are on the bottom of FroGro's priority list, we remain hopeful that the problematic Pronto is here to stay.

Ed Note: This post was updated to reflect the more accurate information that Wegmans is not responsible for all 32 PA kiosks and only closing ten of them.
