Wegmans’ Future Store Openings

According to a company statement, Wegmans has planned to open new grocery stores in the future.

The statement reads:

“Every year, one of the things we look forward to most is opening our new stores and the opportunity to get to know and serve our newest communities. Faced with the coronavirus pandemic, the opportunity to serve the needs of these communities is more important than ever, and we are committed to opening the three stores planned for this year.

As we keep the safety of our employees and customers a top priority, we’ve had to rethink how we open these stores. While we love the excitement of opening morning, with customers anxiously awaiting to see their new Wegmans, we know this isn’t possible as the need to maintain social distancing remains.

With that in mind, we will share a targeted timeframe that the store will open. We believe this will allow us to keep our employees and customers safe, and also give us flexibility to open our doors as soon as possible. We look forward to meeting you in-person but will be limiting the number of customers in the store at any given time to ensure we are able to maintain safe social distancing. With these measures in place, we ask for your patience and understanding, as you may need to wait in line to enter the store.

We are excited to share that all three stores will open with online ordering via curbside pickup and delivery, and we encourage customers to take advantage of these services.

We can’t wait to open our new stores and provide an essential service to our newest communities. We look forward to a time when we can all celebrate together. Until then, know that we are here for our customers, their families, and communities.”
