The store is set to open Sunday, November 8. The 111,000 square-foot store is located at Brandywine Mills shopping center on Route 202 just south of Route 1. It is a short drive from the Delaware line and is expected to draw shoppers from the Brandywine Hundred area.
The company reported that 325 part-time openings available in a variety of departments, including everything from culinary and restaurant operations to customer service.
Full-time hiring is ongoing for culinary and restaurant positions at The Pub, Wegmans’ casual family restaurant. In total, Wegmans Concordville will employ 525 people, 450 of whom will be new to the company and hired locally.

“Wegmans offers flexible scheduling and tremendous opportunities for career growth and development,” said Store Manager Todd Strassner Jr. “I know from my own experience because this was my first part-time job when I was in high school. I was a cashier and a Helping Hand in the parking lot, and later went to college with tuition assistance from Wegmans.”
The Wegmans Employee Scholarship Program is also offered. Since the program began in 1984, more than 32,000 employees have been awarded scholarships totaling $100 million.
“We’re excited to create new employment opportunities for people who love to interact with customers,” said Strassner. “We teach the rest through in-depth product, service, and culinary training that begins soon after being hired.”
