Wegmans Announces Plans For Pittsburgh Location
CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA — Wegmans, the supermarket chain known for its customer service, restaurant foods and one-stop shopping, is about to enter the Pittsburgh market.
Wegmans, which has 111 stores on the East Coast, announced Monday that it will open a 115,000-square-foot store in Cranberry, on 12 acres of land on Cool Springs Drive next to the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex.
A timeline for construction and opening was not disclosed. The supermarket will be part of the Cranberry Springs development, which includes commercial, residential, office, and retail space.
“We’ve received thousands of requests for a Wegmans in the Pittsburgh region since opening our first Pennsylvania store over 30 years ago,” Dan Aken, Wegmans vice president of real estate and store planning, said in a statement. “We’re excited to have finally found the right location to bring Wegmans to the Pittsburgh area.”
Said Cranberry Manager Dan Santoro: “Cranberry Township is home to many exceptional businesses that enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors alike. We are delighted that Wegmans has chosen Cranberry Township as its first location in the Pittsburgh area.”
Wegmans will hire 400 to 500 employees for the new store, with the majority hired locally. Wegmans has ranked highly on FORTUNE magazine’s list of “The 100 Best Companies to Work For” for 27 consecutive years.
According to its website, Wegmans operates more than 100 stores in New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Virginia, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Washington D.C. and Delaware. There are 19 Wegmans stores in Pennsylvania, with the closest ones to Pittsburgh being in Erie and State College.
The privately owned company was launched more than a century ago and has more than 54,000 employees. Wegmans says it generates $12.5 billion in annual sales.

New Hope, Pennsylvania and Lambertville, New Jersey host first-ever restaurant week
Calling all foodies! Restaurant Week in Lambertville, New Jersey, and New Hope, Pennsylvania, kicks off on Monday, Jan. 13.
In reality, diners can take advantage of special meals and discounts for two weeks at restaurants in both riverfront communities.
Unfortunately, the New Hope-Lambertville Toll-Supported Bridge is also shut down to all motor and pedestrian traffic for the next two weeks for repairs. But business owners hope the closure doesn’t deter people from coming out to eat.
“Lambertville and New Hope are known as sister cities separated by the Delaware River and the river closing has impacted business greatly,” said Vice President of New Hope Chamber of Commerce Mary Brashier. “Typically, we see some impact to the businesses.”
Still, restaurant owners and staff say they’re working hard to create a charming experience for diners.
“A lot of us live in Lambertville and got used to being able to walk over the bridge to come into New Hope,” said Caelin Murphy, the event coordinator at Nektar Wine Bar in New Hope. “Enjoying that beautiful walk, seeing the views of the Delaware.” Murphy said. Nektar is highlighting their favorite tapas dishes during restaurant week.
Across the river in Lambertville, the team at Under the Moon is looking forward to this unique restaurant week.
“Under the Moon is a Spanish-Italian restaurant with wonderful craft cocktails at our bar,” owner Eric Richardson said. “We’ve been in town eight years and Lambertville is a wonderful community, and we appreciate the support of everyone.”
