Ithaca Journal: Upstate-based Wegmans plans growth in Northeast corridor

Wegmans is opened its 75th store Sunday, in Leesburg, Va., and is already a major retailing presence in Pennsylvania and the Washington, D.C., area.

Wegman, who along with company President Colleen Wegman sat down for an interview last week, said the grocery chain would open its first store in Massachusetts in 2011. The plans are to build in Northborough, near Worcester. Another Massachusetts store may be located in Westwood, though no date has been set.

"We see our growth in a defined crescent between Washington and Boston, extending from Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland and up into Massachusetts," Danny Wegman said. "We're looking at Connecticut."
