Supermarket fans, the wait is almost over. Wegmans will make previously announced Manhattan debut at 770 Broadway on October 18.
The 87,500-square-foot store replaces the Astor Place Kmart (the Wanamaker Building). The Astor Place store will be the second in New York City following the 2019 opening of Wegmans Brooklyn.
“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 get ready for this day,” said Matt Dailor, store manager. “Wegmans is a celebration of food and people, and we can’t wait to open the doors on October 18 to our community here in the east village.”
An extensive restaurant foods selection, prepared by Executive Chef David Lopatynski and his culinary staff, includes fresh sushi, fresh-made salads, sandwiches, hot sandwiches, soups, pizza and wings, as well as hot Asian cuisine options. Ready-to-eat and ready-to-heat options will feature a wide selection of entrees and sides for both individuals and families. Customers can shop in store or use the Wegmans meals2GO app to order and customize many of these items for pick up or delivery.
The onsite dining room, featuring a Sushi Bar and Champagne-Oyster Bar at Astor Place, will be opening in the first half of 2024.
