Customers tell us they choose Wegmans for the helpful people in our stores, the delicious meals from our chefs, and the freshest ingredients possible. By offering choice, quality, and value in every aisle, we hope to make your shopping experience a genuine pleasure. Building relationships and helping people are at the core of what we do.
Good people, working toward a common goal, can accomplish anything they set out to do. Our goal is to be the very best at serving the needs of our customers, and every action we take is made with this in mind. But this goal only happens if we fulfill the needs of our own people. That’s why we pledge continuous improvement to our customers and our people, and we make the unwavering commitment: Every Day You Get Our Best.
The story of Wegmans began in 1916, and we’ve been hitting milestones and gaining attention in the supermarket industry ever since. Today, Wegmans is proud to be serving our communities with 110+ stores and over 53,000 employees.

Customers trust the Wegmans Brand for our quality, taste, and cleaner ingredients because of our commitment to great taste and continually improving the branded products we offer.
We believe in partnering with farms and suppliers near our stores who share our family values to provide the best-tasting food that is sustainably sourced on the East Coast.
In 1991, we launched Food You Feel Good About and have been removing “artificials” from our ingredient lists, like certain colors, flavors, preservatives and sweeteners, ever since.
