NEW YORK — Wegmans fans in New York City: Take heart, the newest store is only a few months away from opening.

The beloved grocery store chain announced Thursday that its long-awaited Manhattan location will open at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 18. The 82,000-square-foot store will open on the lower levels of 770 Broadway at the corner of Astor Place and Lafayette Street in Greenwich Village.

“We know our customers can’t wait to come see what we have in store and our employees have been training, in some cases, for over a year to be ready for this day,” said store manager Matt Dailor. “Wegmans is a celebration of food and people, and we can’t wait to open our doors on October 18 to our community.”

The chain said it has hired more than 600 workers for the new location, inside the historic Wannamaker Building. It will take the place of the former Kmart at Astor Place.

The store said it will offer “made-to-order and packaged Mezze options, inspired by a Mediterranean diet.” In addition to grocery options, there will also be “fresh sushi, freshly made salads, sandwiches, hot sandwiches, soups, pizza and wings, as well as hot Asian cuisine options.”

While the grocery store portion will open in October, an on-site dining room, complete with a sushi bar, as well as a champagne and oyster bar, is scheduled to open sometime in the first half of 2024.

Already operating a Brooklyn location that opened in 2019, Wegmans consistently lands on industry top 10 lists, including the No. 2 spot on a recent Food & Wine list of America’s Best Grocery Stores. It has also been named to Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” list for 26 consecutive years, ranking fourth in 2023.
