Wegmans opening 2 new locations this summer: See where
Wegmans, a popular grocery store chain with over 100 locations along the East Coast, is continuing to expand in 2025.
According to the company's website, it currently has stores in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Washington, D.C., and Delaware. The company notes its expansion plans are concentrated "in the northeast and mid-Atlantic regions."
The company says on its website that it receives thousands of requests from people who have visited their stores for the first time or moved to a place without Wegmans for the company to build a location in their town. However, the company says it only builds "two or three new stores each year."
Here's where the company is opening new locations in 2025, including two this summer.
Where are new Wegmans stores opening in 2025 and beyond?
Wegmans announced in December 2024 that it would be opening three new stores in 2025:
Lake Grove, New York: Opened on February 26
Opened on February 26 Rockville, Maryland: Opening on June 25
Opening on June 25 Norwalk, Connecticut: Opening on July 26
The Lake Grove store is the company's first location on Long Island, according to a news release, while the Norwalk location will be the chain's first store in Connecticut.
The Rockville location will be the company's ninth store in Maryland, according to Wegmans.
The company also told USA TODAY in an emailed statement on June 2 that it will be opening a new store in Charlotte, North Carolina, in late 2026. New locations are also planned for Holly Springs, North Carolina, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, although opening dates for those locations have not yet been announced.

Portillo's opening new locations in 2025, including first in Georgia
Portillo's opening new locations in 2025, including first in Georgia Show Caption Hide Caption How to take your hot dog to the next level Hot dogs don't have to be boring. Here are 5 ways to upgrade the classic American staple. ProblemSolved, Reviewed Portillo's, known for its Chicago-style hot dogs, announced its plans to expand as the year nears its halfway point. The fast-casual restaurant chain, which also serves beef and sausage sandwiches and pasta, will have opened up 12 new locations by the end of the year. Among the new restaurants, most will be in Texas and, for the first time, in Georgia. The location in Kennesaw, Georgia, will open during the latter half of 2025, Sara Wirth, the director of PR, IR and internal communications at Portillo's, told USA TODAY. Wirth said Portillo's fiscal 2025 is focused on restaurant growth outside Chicagoland, where the chain already has a presence. The chain's current focus is the Sunbelt, primarily in Texas, but there are plans to enter the Atlanta and San Antonio markets in the second half of 2025, she added. In addition to the new locations, Wirth said Portillo's plans to open its first walk-up restaurant format later this year. Although Portillo's has plans set, Wirth stated that the chain will "continue to fill-in existing markets, including Chicagoland and adjacent markets as opportunities come available." What is Portillo's? The 62-year-old company opened its first hot dog stand called "The Dog House" in 1963 in Villa Park, Illinois. The company began as a trailer with no bathroom and no running water. Owner Dick Portillo spent $1,100 on the trailer, running a 250-foot garden hose from a nearby building into the trailer for water, the company said on its website. Four years after opening 'The Dog House,' the company was renamed Portillo's and moved into a new building. In 2000, the company began shipping nationwide, and five years later, expanded outside of Illinois with a location in Buena Park, California. The company has continued to open new restaurants in states such as Indiana, Arizona, and Florida. The company welcomed new customers this year at three locations in Orland Park, Illinois, and in Katy and Willowbrook, Texas, Wirth said. Saleen Martin is a reporter on USA TODAY's NOW team.
