Wegmans Virginia Beach will employ approximately 500 people, the majority of whom will be hired locally. Of these, there are 185 full-time positions ready to be filled across all departments. Hiring for part-time positions will begin at a later date.

These jobs offer competitive pay with industry-leading benefits, flexible scheduling, and a friendly, positive workplace, said Store Manager Mike Coyle, who started his Wegmans career as a management trainee in the produce department 25 years ago.
