Wegmans Food Markets, the family company that ranks #6 on the Fortune list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For, is now hiring and training full-time employees for its first store in Connecticut.
Located at 675 Connecticut Ave in Norwalk, the store is scheduled to open in summer 2025.
Wegmans plans to employ approximately 500 people at this location; the majority of employees will be new to the company and hired locally.
Full-time job applicants are invited to apply online at jobs.wegmans.com, or call 203-299-3333 for more information.
Interviews are conducted by appointment only and applications are not accepted at the store construction site. Available full-time positions include everything from entry-level management to customer service positions in bakery, produce, overnight grocery and culinary roles such as chefs and line cooks. Hiring for part-time positions will begin at a later date.
“Wegmans offers competitive pay with industry-leading benefits, flexible scheduling, and a friendly, positive workplace,” said Store Manager Emily Reynolds, who started her Wegmans career as a part-time cashier over 18 years ago. “We bring new employees on board quickly so they can receive in-depth training on the customer service skills and product knowledge that set our people apart.”
Wegmans has a long-standing reputation as an exceptional employer, offering competitive pay and benefits packages, premium pay on Sundays and holidays, and tuition assistance through the company’s employee scholarship program for both full- and part-time employees. In addition, the company promotes from within and has announced future plans for additional stores in Maryland, New York, and North Carolina.
