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.

Capitol drama: Sen. Hoffman justifies still playing hardball with Gov. Hobbs' nominees
After years of back-and-forth drama, Gov. Katie Hobbs announced in May that she would not submit any more agency director nominations to the state Senate for confirmation. She blamed what she called the "circus" environment for vetting her nominees. "I'm quite frankly done with Jake Hoffman and his agenda," the governor said in early May. "We're going to move forward in the best way possible in the current environment." This came after two directors of the state's health care agencies stepped down, saying it was clear they would not be confirmed. Hobbs has been battling the state Senate since she took office for her director nominees, who have gone through a rigorous and unprecedented vetting process. Because of this, for the majority of her time in office, the agency heads tasked with implementing her agenda have operated on an interim basis. State Sen. Jake Hoffman heads the Committee on Direction Nominations, which recommends whether a nominee should get a vote of the full Senate. He self-identified on The Gaggle as "one of the most conservative members of the Legislature." The Queen Creek Republican is also one of the people indicted in the fake electors case, which charges the electors who broke the law by attempting to falsely certify Donald Trump as Arizona's choice for president in 2020. This week on The Gaggle, a politics podcast by The Arizona Republic and hosts Ron Hansen and Mary Jo Pitzl are joined by Sen. Hoffman to discuss why he thinks the stiff scrutiny on the governor's picks is justified. Later in the episode, Doug Cole, a Republican veteran of state government who knows the process of nominating and selling Cabinet seats to lawmakers, joins to explore this unheard-of situation between the sitting governor and the leader of the Senate committee.
