Wegmans to Open 74,000-Square-Foot Grocery Store in Brooklyn

New York City — Wegmans Food Markets will open a 74,000-square-foot grocery store at the Brooklyn Navy Yard mixed-use development. The chain has garnered a cult following in the Northeast since it expanded from its original Rochester location in 1968 and now operates 100 stores, including 46 in New York. Eater New York reports that the new store will feature 350 varieties of cheese, a full-service bar and made-to-order meals at several hot and cold bars. The store is slated to open Sunday, Oct. 27.
