WEGMANS has discontinued a popular item as fans have been wanting answers about it.
Retailers may take an item off the shelves for a variety of reasons including poor sales.
However, Wegmans has a different reason why it discontinued its store-branded Avocado Oil Potato Chips.
"Unfortunately, our supplier can no longer make these for us and at this time there are no plans to find a new manufacturer," the company said in a social media post.
It came in response to a fan who asked about the availability of the chips fried in avocado oil.
"The people wanna know," the eager customer said.

While it's gone for good, Wegmans did say that it would share the request for a comeback with its team.
Other than sea salt, it's unclear if the chips contained more ingredients and if they were mixed with other oils.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
That said, fans can still scoop up other options at grocery stores.
For example, Siette and Boulder are two brands that fry potato chips in avocado oil.

While prices can vary by location, Wegmans carries Siette kettle-cooked chips in a 5.5-ounce bag for $3.99.
The price is $2.50 for those who have signed up for a Wegman's loyalty card – but only for a limited time.
While the Boulder brand can't be found online at Wegman's at this time, you can purchase it at Target in a 5.25-ounce bag for $3.99.
Both brands of chips only contain avocado oil – which is a much healthier alternative when compared with seed oils such as canola oil.
OTHER WEGMANS DISCONTINUED ITEMS
The move by Wegmans to discontinue its avocado oil chips comes after it confirmed multiple other items had been taken off the shelves.
This includes the Hatfield Scrapple, which is a meat pudding that's made with ground pork.
The Hatfield version is no longer listed online – but can be bought for a hefty premium through Amazon.
A five-pound two-pack is listed for a whopping $129.99.
Also, Wegmans has confirmed that its supplier has discontinued a breakfast item, the shredded hash browns.
The item costs $2.99 for a 28-ounce bag.
And also, some of your favorite name brands may have been discontinued lately too.
For example, Heinz has taken the Carolina vinegar barbecue sauce off the shelves.
Along with distilled white vinegar, the Heinz brand featured apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, dark brown sugar, cane sugar, garlic powder, paprika, and natural smoke flavor.
An 18.6-ounce bottle previously sold for $2.75 through Walmart.
Cheerios recently said that it had discontinued its maple-flavored cereal.
Along with maple syrup, the cereal contained whole-grain oats, sugar, brown sugar syrup, and natural flavors.
