Wegmans to open first North Carolina store
With 325 part-time positions now ready to be filled, hiring and training are ramping up for the new Wegmans Food Markets store in Raleigh. The company’s first location in North Carolina opens Sunday, Sept. 29 at 7 a.m. at the Midtown East Shopping Center, located on Wake Forest Road near Interstate 440.
Hiring for 150 full-time jobs began in January and select openings remain, such as cooks and sushi rollers. In total, the Raleigh store will employ 475 people, the majority of whom will be new to the company and hired locally.
“We’re putting a fantastic team in place and looking forward to introducing the Raleigh community to Wegmans on Sept. 29,” store manager Hallie Johnston said.
Wegmans stores look and feel like a European open-air market, offering fresh produce, artisan bread, and other baked goods hot from the oven several times a day. The stores offer restaurant-quality prepared food, fresh-caught seafood, imported cheeses, deli and charcuterie, and international foods, plus all the grocery, dairy, frozen, and household items usually found in a traditional supermarket. The 104,000-sq.-ft. Raleigh location also includes The Burger Bar, a casual restaurant counter that serves burgers, fresh salads, flavorful sandwiches, kids meals, soup, sides, and beer and wine by the glass.
