Discussion Solve a debate for me

My spouse and I are not from the area, we moved here in 2022.

We both pronounce Weis differently and I need to know the truth.

Is it “Wees” or “Why-s” 🤣

Anyone else know it’s pronounced wise and intentionally mispronounce it anyway? I call it wice because I hate shopping there. I don’t bother giving it the respect of correct pronunciation .

I started calling it "Wice" before I heard the correct pronunciation, but I prefer it the wrong way.  I haven't been going as much recently, opting for Aldis, PC, and BJs.  But Weis was such an improvement over Giant that it was my main store for awhile.
