Wegmans will break ground today on the company’s first store in the Pittsburgh region<\/a> at the Cool Springs development in Cranberry Township. \u00a0Here’s what to know.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The groundbreaking in Cranberry Township marks one step closer toward Wegmans’ arrival<\/a> to the Pittsburgh grocery market. The store is expected to open sometime next year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Wegmans officially closed on the land<\/a> for the store near the Pittsburgh Penguins practice facility, the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex.<\/p>\n

The new, 115,000 square-foot store<\/a> is expected to employ around 450 people and will sell a variety of food, including produce, baked goods, deli products and will offer a selection of wine and beer.<\/p>\n

Wegmans currently operates 19 stores in Pennsylvania, with the closest to Pittsburgh being in Erie and in State College.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A changing grocery landscape in western Pennsylvania<\/p>\n

As Wegmans breaks ground for its first store in the region today, the grocery landscape in the Pittsburgh area continues to evolve.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Michigan-based grocer Meijer is also planning to open a location<\/a> in Cranberry and has acquired properties throughout the region.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last month, Kroger announced plans<\/a> to purchase Giant Eagle for $1.65 billion. \u00a0Giant Eagle is expected to keep its name<\/a> as part of Kroger and will continue to run its supermarkets, pharmacies and Market District brands as a division of Kroger.<\/p>\n
