Grocery Dive reported the development on 2025-04-16. The grocery chain will soon debut locations in Connecticut as well as Charlotte, North Carolina, and Pittsburgh.
The report places the news in a wider commercial context. Since reaching the milestone of opening its 100th store in the second half of 2019, Wegmans has been charging ahead, debuting stores and entering new markets at a brisk clip. Wegmans has added about a dozen new stores over the past six years, including its first location in New York City, and its arrival in the borough of Manhattan.
For the food sector, the practical implications extend beyond the immediate announcement. Known for its vast array of prepared foods and made-to-order stations, Wegmans steadily grew its store fleet after the COVID-19 pandemic ignited sustained consumer demand for quicker, easier and more convenient at-home meal prep options.
Attention now turns to how companies, customers and regulators respond. Founded in 1916, the fourth-generation-run regional grocer has 112 stores across eight states and Washington, D.C. The state of New York alone accounts for almost half of Wegmans’ store fleet, with a majority of the locations upstate and just four in the New York City metropolitan area.
