Chapel Hill Approves Wegmans Food Market

CHAPEL HILL – Wegmans Food Market could bring people from across the region to shop just inside the Orange County line by 2020, officials said after the project was approved Wednesday.

The Chapel Hill Town Council unanimously voted for the 130,000-square-foot Wegmans project for 14.7 acres on U.S. 15-501 after delving into concerns about parking, traffic and how the grocer might affect neighboring properties.

The project will replace the current Performance AutoMall between U.S. 15-501 and Old Durham Road. The automall will be moving to the Southpoint Auto Mall near The Streets at Southpoint.
