Start spreading the news: [Wegmans](https://www.wegmans.com/) Food Markets is making its Big Apple debut. On October 27, the Rochester-based grocer will open the doors to its 74,000 SF location in Brooklyn’s [Admirals Row](https://ny.curbed.com/admirals-row) (formerly known as Navy Yard) development, a much-anticipated addition to its other 49+ stores located in New York state (and counting). Other locations in the mid-Atlantic and New England regions include Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Virginia.

Featuring more than 60,000 products — and 4,000 of them being organic — the Wegmans inventory will include an extensive assortment of restaurant-quality prepared foods and 300 varieties of imported and domestic cheese. Fresh seafood will be delivered whole and cut to order daily, and the store will include a second-floor mezzanine featuring a bar that will serve food, wine, beer and spirits.

Recruitment for 150 full-time employees began in January. On the part-time front, Wegmans is now hiring and training for 350 positions. “Although the opening is still several months away, new employees begin in-depth training soon after they’re hired so that they’re knowledgeable and fully prepared to deliver incredible customer service,” noted store manager Kevin Cuff, according to [Chain Store Age](https://www.chainstoreage.com/store-spaces/wegmans-sets-date-for-its-first-ever-store-in-new-york-city/). “Wegmans has a long-standing reputation as an exceptional employer, with tremendous opportunity for career growth and development.”
