"One of Western New York's favorite stores" with one Hudson Valley location confirmed plans to open up another store in southern New York. This will mark the first Wegmans in this New York region.

In 2020, Wegmans was named the third-best company to work for when Fortune released its annual "100 Best Companies to Work For" list. Wegmans placed third.

Wegmans made the list in 2021 and again in 2022. 2022 marked Wegmans 25th straight year on the list and this year Wegmans was named the best large retail workplace.

"It’s an honor to again be recognized by Fortune. We’re so grateful to our people, especially this year, for creating a safe, welcoming, and happy place for our customers to shop," Wegmans tweeted about honor.
