Popular Grocery Chain Wegmans Opening New Location June 25
The grocery business is a competitive one, with more than 45,000 supermarkets in the United States, according to Food Industry Facts. That big number includes supercenters, warehouse grocery, conventional supermarkets, limited assortment grocery, conventional club, natural/gourmet stores and military commissaries. So, yes, there are a wide variety of supermarkets across the country.
The supermarket business also employs a lot of Americans, counting 5.5 million as of 2024 according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The number of supermarkets and grocery stores in the U.S. is on the rise, too, and has grown 1.5% per year on average over the past five years from 2019 and 2024, according to IBS World.
Now, a popular grocery chain is expanding and opening a new location soon.
Wegmans is growing in 2025. The chain has more than 100 locations on the East Coast in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Washington, D.C., and Delaware, according to the grocery spot's website. Now, Wegmans plans to expand "in the northeast and mid-Atlantic regions."
So, Wegmans is not only expanding but also heading into a new region. Wegmans announced in December 2024 that it planned to open three new stores in 2025, including in Norwalk, CT; Lake Grove, NY; and Rockville, MD.
"All three stores will feature the traditional departments Wegmans customers have come to know and love, including delicious restaurant foods (sushi, pizza, chef-made salads, and sandwiches), an abundant produce department with hundreds of different fruits and vegetables, and a wide variety of seafood, meat, bakery, deli, and cheese options," they said in a statement.
Wegmans opened their Lake Grove location on Feb. 26. Next up, they'll officially open their Rockville location on June 25. Later this summer, on July 26, they'll open their Norwalk location.
Wegmans added that customers were requesting these locations to be added to their store lineup, stating, "Each year, thousands of people who have visited our store for the first time, or moved to a place without Wegmans, write asking that we build a store in their town. Since we open just two or three new stores each year, it would be impossible to oblige every request."Popular Grocery Chain Wegmans Opening New Location June 25 first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 7, 2025

Broncos' Courtland Sutton Gets Bad Contract Update
Broncos' Courtland Sutton Gets Bad Contract Update originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Broncos drafted Courtland Sutton in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft. The veteran receiver signed an extension with the Broncos in 2021 for four years and $60.8 million. Advertisement Now, the Broncos receiver is entering his eighth year in the NFL and a contract year. He has blossomed into a fringe No. 1 receiver in Denver, coming off his second 1,000 yard season. Sutton has reeled in at least 58 receptions and 770 yards each year since his initial extension. His touchdown production has picked up over the last two seasons as well. After 14 touchdowns in his first five years in the league, Sutton has collected 18 touchdowns in the last two seasons. If Sutton can replicate his 81 catch, 1,081 yard and eight touchdown 2024 season in 2025, he will be due for a massive extension. After all, Tee Higgins just signed a four-year, $115 million extension with the Bengals. Now, some consider Ja'Marr Chase and Higgins as a 1-A and 1-B duo, but Chase is the No. 1 option in Cincinnati. Advertisement Higgins will be paid $28.75 million annually as one of the best No. 2 receivers in the league. If you go down the list of the top-paid receivers in the NFL, Jaylen Waddle comes in at No. 10 earning $28.3 million annually as the No. 2 option, at least for now, in Miami. Sutton is the Broncos' bonafide No. 1 receiver right now, and if he gets paid that way it'll be a steep check for the Broncos to write. Chase set the record this offseason with his massive extension earning $40.3 million annually. Now, Sutton won't get that kind of money, but if you look through the top 10 highest paid receivers, it's an easy assumption Sutton's price range would land north of $25 or $30 million annually. Advertisement Meanwhile, the Broncos are only allocating a base salary of $13.5 million with a cap hit of $20.2 million to their No. 1 receiver in 2025. However, there's another option. The Broncos don't spend the money and rely on their young receivers - on rookie contracts - to step up and develop into that No. 1 role. The Broncos have four young receivers who will have the 2025 season to show the Broncos whether one of them can step into the role Sutton is occupying, or if Denver needs to think harder about extending their No. 1 receiver. Marvin Mims was a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and came on late in 2024, finishing the second half of the season with 446 receiving yards. If you calculate that for a full season, Mims would have reeled in nearly 900 yards in 2024. Advertisement Devaughn Vele had an impressive rookie year in 2024 after being drafted in the seventh round. Vele finished his rookie campaign with 41 receptions for 475 yards and three touchdowns. He also looked impressive at the Broncos OTAs. Troy Franklin is a second-year player as well, drafted by the Broncos in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Franklin's rookie season wasn't as impressive as Vele's, but he has a connection with Bo Nix that can't be understated from their time at Oregon. Franklin also had a very strong performance at the Broncos' OTAs and even earned praise from his head coach. Lastly, the Broncos drafted Pat Bryant in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft. The Illinois product finished his senior year with 54 receptions for 984 yards and 10 touchdowns. Advertisement The Broncos have a lot of young talent at the receiver position and it'll likely be up to them to prove in 2025 that someone can step up to be the No. 1 guy for the future. Denver will also have the contracts of All-Pros Nik Bonitto and Zach Allen up at the end of 2025. The Broncos won't be able to pay everyone, and with the deep, young receiver room, Sutton may be the one they let go.

United Airlines Turns Off Starlink Access Amid Interference Concerns
PCMag editors select and review products independently. If you buy through affiliate links, we may earn commissions, which help support our testing. United Airlines' plans to retrofit its entire regional fleet with Starlink connectivity have hit a roadblock, at least temporarily. United first started rolling out Starlink access using a free-with-ads model in May, becoming one of a select club—including Hawaiian Airlines and the boutique air carrier JSX—to offer flyers access to SpaceX's satellite broadband service. Its speed and performance proved a hit with PCMag when it debuted, and United announced plans to install Starlink in its entire two-cabin regional fleet by the end of 2025. However, Starlink has been turned off on almost two dozen Embraer E175 regional jets, according to air industry publication The Points Guy. The issue stems from static interference between the antennas that pilots use to communicate with air traffic controllers and Starlink's antennas. United confirmed the reports in a statement, saying that this type of radio interference is 'fairly common with any new airline Wi-Fi provider' and that the issues are not a flight safety risk. 'We expect the service to be back up and running on these aircraft soon,' a spokesperson said. According to The Points Guy, roughly a third of the impacted planes have already had a fix applied. United doesn't expect to cancel any flights as a result of the issue and will instead wait until each aircraft's scheduled maintenance to fix the interference issue. Though Starlink may be off the table for many domestic fliers, at least in the short term, United has introduced new ways for travelers to distract themselves in recent weeks. The Chicago-based carrier announced earlier this week that it's bringing the streaming-audio service Spotify to the on-demand entertainment displays of over 680 of its aircraft, offering 'specially curated versions of Spotify's most popular playlists.' The new Spotify integration will replace the 'Audio' option on the home-screen menu of those displays.
