Wegmans Planning New Connecticut Store
Wegmans is headed to the state of Connecticut as the regional grocer has targeted the summer of 2025 for the grand opening of its first Nutmeg State store in Norwalk.
The forthcoming 92,000-square-foot supermarket will feature thousands of organic options, restaurant-quality prepared foods, and consistently low prices, according to the company.
Wegmans currently operates operates 111 stores along the East Coast and has more than 53,000 employees chainwide. The Norwalk store will have 500 employees and the grocer has started the hiring process. The Connecticut location is one of three new stores Wegmans has in the pipeline, with grand openings also planned for Lake Grove, N.Y.; Norwalk, and Rockville, Md.
As store construction continues, Wegmans is now hiring for the new store. Available full-time positions include everything from entry-level management to customer service positions in bakery, produce, overnight grocery, and culinary roles such as chefs and line cooks. Hiring for part-time positions will begin at a later date.
“Wegmans offers competitive pay with industry-leading benefits, flexible scheduling, and a friendly, positive workplace,” said Emily Reynolds, Norwalk store manager, who started her Wegmans career as a part-time cashier more than 18 years ago. “We bring new employees on board quickly so they can receive in-depth training on the customer service skills and product knowledge that set our people apart.”
