The cult of Wegmans runs deep in the hearts of those who have had the chance to shop in its wide, spotless aisles.

In fact, ask any Western New York native about the supermarket, and you're bound to hear an endless list of its virtues, including its in-house brand groceries and old-fashioned sub shops.

But for those who haven't grown up with the beloved supermarket chain, which features 86 stores from upper New York to Virginia, you might be confused with the obesssion. This week, we learned that Wegmans will open its first outpost in New York City in 2017 -- at the Brooklyn Navy Yard -- so it's time locals know what they're in store for.

The resident Wegmans fans here at Mashable pulled together a quick beginner's guide explaining what all the fuss is about. You're welcome.
