Wegmans Seeks To Open First NC Grocery Store Near Cary Towne Center

CARY – Wegmans Food Markets, an 88-store company that is ranked as one of the top supermarket chains in the country, is looking to open its first North Carolina store in Cary across the street from Cary Towne Center.

The family-owned company, headquartered in Rochester, N.Y., is eying a site on a 90-acre tract north of the mall. The land is owned by Columbia Development Group LLC, a Columbia, S.C.-based shopping center developer.

“We have signed a letter of intent and are working through lease negotiations with Columbia Development Group, with hopes of reaching a final lease agreement sometime during the first quarter of 2016,” Wegmans spokeswoman Jo Natale said Monday in an email.
