Rochester, New York — Great Place To Work® and Fortune magazine have ranked Wegmans Food Markets, Inc. #1 on the 2025 Fortune Best Workplaces in Retail™ List. This award is based on analysis of survey responses from over 87,000 employees at Great Place To Work Certified™ companies in the retail industry.
This is the 10th consecutive year that Wegmans has ranked #1 on the list.
“We couldn't be more proud to be named the number one retailer to work for in America for 10 years in a row,” says Colleen Wegman, president and CEO of Wegmans Food Markets. “We understand this is the foundation of why people choose to shop with us, and we are deeply grateful to both our people and our customers for making Wegmans a trusted, happy, and welcoming place.”
The Best Workplaces in Retail list is highly competitive. Great Place To Work, the global authority on workplace culture, determines its lists using its proprietary Trust Index™ Survey to evaluate and certify thousands of organizations in America’s largest ongoing annual workforce study, based on over 1.3 million survey responses and data from companies representing more than 8.4 million employees.
Survey responses reflect a comprehensive picture of the workplace experience. Honorees were selected based on their ability to offer positive outcomes for employees regardless of job role, race, gender, sexual orientation, work status, or other demographic identifier.
“Congratulations to the Best Workplaces in Retail,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “In every industry, our research shows that investing in people drives productivity and higher revenues. When trust levels are high in an organization, people don’t fear AI — they embrace it.”
In 2024, Wegmans also ranked as a Best Workplace for Parents, Best Workplace for Women, Best Workplace for Millennials, and was named to the PEOPLE Companies That Care® list.
Celebration at Wegmans Stores
Customers and employees will celebrate the honor on Saturday, September 13, at 11 a.m. when mini cupcakes will be served at every Wegmans store. For customers who prefer a healthy option instead of mini cupcakes, Clementine tangerines will be available.
