Earlier in the year it was announced that Wegmans would open their first New York City store, and now the highly anticipated opening has a date.
Wegmans Food Market will open their 74,000-square-foot space on Flushing Avenue at 7 a.m. on Sunday, October 27, and are already beginning the hiring process! The store is currently seeking to hire 350 part time employees and will have 500 employees total. The part-time roles available include positions in restaurant foods, sushi, pizza, bakery, produce, deli, cheese, day and overnight grocery.
The Brooklyn outpost will feature a bar on their second floor mezzanine that will serve food, wine, beer and spirits…which may just put it at the top of our list for best supermarket. In a statement released by Vice President and District Manager, Todd Ferrera, he said:
“The Brooklyn community has been eagerly awaiting the opening date for this store. October 27 is just around the corner, and we can’t wait to celebrate with everyone.”
And neither can we!
