dude i totally agree, except i always say meijers. although wrong, it does sound better.
oh! in new york we found this meijers-type store Wegman's, that place seriously owns. we pronounce it weegman's just because it sounds better.

First of all, the thread title is misspelled - should be "pronunciation".
Often. But not a very hard T sound.
SEE-rup? WTF??? SIR-up.
MAN-ase. Although that's basically like saying MAY-o-nase quickly.

You don't have Wegman's in Michigan? I thought Wegman's was everywhere. Yuck, I hate that store.
