Wegmans is a regional supermarket chain based in Western NY. Wegmans stores are known for their huge size and broad selection of food.

Wegmans operates 70 stores: 48 in New York State, 12 in Pennsylvania, 7 in New Jersey, 2 in Virginia and 1 store in Maryland. The company reported sales of $4.5 billion in 2006.

The typical Wegmans store carries 70,000 items, compared to 40,000 for most supermarkets. The stores range in size from 80,000 to 130,000 square feet.

Wegman's stores offer dazzling displays of fresh produce, artisan breads and other baked goods hot from the oven several times a day. There are also displays of fresh-caught seafood, meat, deli products and imported cheeses, international foods - plus all the foods and household items usually found in supermarkets.

Market cafes offer take-out or in-store dining, with seating for 100 to upwards of 200.

The company announced two new stores will open in 2009 in Collegeville, PA and Fredericksburg, VA.

Wegmans was named the No. 3 company to Work for in America by Fortune Magazine in 2008. Fortune cited the company's excellent salaries and attention to employee needs.
