Wegmans invests in new facilities, supply network consolidation

September 17, 2026 — Wegmans Food Markets BB #:104173 announced significant investments in its supply chain network designed to improve the work experience for employees, enhance service to stores, increase capacity, and support the company’s long-term growth.

The $110 million in investments will strengthen the supply chain, reduce reliance on third-party providers, and provide much needed capacity for our future needs.

“Rochester is our hometown and an important part of who we are as a company,” says Colleen Wegman, President and CEO of Wegmans Food Markets. “By continuing to invest in our stores and facilities here, we’re strengthening our operations, creating long-term opportunities for our people, and ensuring Wegmans continues to grow in the community we’re proud to call home.”

Strengthening the Supply Chain

A central part of the plan is a new, state-of-the-art refrigerated facility in Rochester that will support perishable operations, including fresh produce, meat and seafood, deli, and restaurant foods. Wegmans will also move its return center operations from its current Winton Road location to a new modernized building in Rochester.

These facilities will offer an improved work environment, add capacity to serve stores, and create opportunities for its distribution employees.

Planning is underway – construction and opening timelines have not yet been finalized.

Network Consolidation

As part of its long-term plan, the company will consolidate its Winton Road general merchandise distribution center to its Pottsville, Pennsylvania, facility. Wegmans’ Winton Road location is the company’s oldest leased distribution facility and does not meet the company’s future service needs. The consolidation is expected to occur in spring 2027.

Our Commitment

Wegmans’ people remain the company’s first priority. There will be no layoffs related to these changes. The company will work closely with affected employees throughout the transition and will share additional information as plans and timelines are finalized.

“Modernizing our network is essential to continuing to build a safe, more efficient, and more resilient supply chain,” says Brian Olney, Senior Vice President of Supply Chain & Food Safety. “These investments will give our people the tools and facilities they need to better serve our stores today while creating the capacity to support Wegmans’ continued growth for years to come.”

Wegmans Food Markets, Inc. is a regional supermarket chain with 114 stores located along the east coast. The family company, recognized as an industry leader and innovator, celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2016.
