I posted some pictures on flickr of two current Wegmans stores that have not updated their look since at least the 70's. http://www.flickr.com/photos/drpep1024/tags/wegmans.

In Blacksburg and Christiansburg are Wades Foods. It's been almost 8 years since my last visit but I do remember they were in old buildings that has been other supernmarkets before becoming Wades.

About 5 years go when I was in Roanoke I visited Tinnells Finer Foods. I forget the exact address , it was in the southwest section of the city off the Rt 220 Wonjou St exit and then I drove a few blocks. They have been around for years and last I knew they had done some remodeling since my visit.
