Rochester, N.Y., April 12, 2021 – Wegmans has been named one of the 2021 Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For, according to global research and consulting firm Great Place to Work and Fortune. This year marks the 24th anniversary of the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For list. Wegmans has been on the list every year, and this year ranks #4.
