2nd Bucks Co. Wegmans Moving Closer To Opening

LOWER MAKEFIELD TOWNSHIP, PA —Bucks County's second Wegmans is holding an in-person hiring event Tuesday to fill some of the more than 400 jobs it will have at its Stony Hill Road location.

Wegmans officials announced Thursday that hiring and training are now underway for the 88,000-square-foot store in the Prickett Preserve development.

Set to open in early 2024, the store will employ more than 400 people with the majority of employees being new to the company and hired locally. A specific opening date has yet to be determined.

The Wegmans grocery store will be located across the street from Shady Brook Farm. Wegmans operates its only store in Bucks County in Warrington off Route 611.

The new store team is currently accepting online applications for a variety of part-time openings across every department in the store, from culinary roles to customer service representatives.

Hiring for full-time jobs began earlier this year, and is ongoing for select positions, including culinary positions, as well as roles in perishable departments (seafood, produce, meat, and bakery). For more information on available jobs, or to apply for a position, candidates can click here.

The hiring event will be held at the Yardley Hiring Office at 770 Township Line Rd. in Suite 325 on the third floor.

“We’re looking for people who are passionate about food and share our core values of respect, caring, and high standards,” Store Manager Bill Platt said. “Candidates aren’t required to have a retail background as our employees receive in-depth, on the job training. At Wegmans, you’ll have endless opportunities to develop and grow your career.”

Wegmans’ status as a great place to work is widely recognized. In 2023, the family company placed fourth on FORTUNE magazine’s list of “The 100 Best Companies to Work For.”

The company has ranked highly on the list for 26 consecutive years. Employees cite an extensive array of benefits as the reason they chose Wegmans, including competitive pay and benefits packages, premium pay on Sundays and holidays, tuition assistance through the company’s employee scholarship program, and flexible scheduling.

In business since 1916, Wegmans now operates 109 stores in seven states and has more than 53,000 employees chainwide. Wegmans stores offer an abundance of choice, the best ingredients, thousands of organic options, restaurant-quality prepared food, and consistently low prices.

The company is set to open two locations in 2024: in Lower Makefield Township and Lake Grove, N.Y.

The development also includes nine multi-family buildings containing 200 apartment units plus a clubhouse with a pool, and seven commercial buildings totaling 52,000 square feet.

Firebirds Wood Fired Grill will be opening its first Bucks County location there as well.

Meanwhile, an existing historic farmhouse and barn on the property will be preserved and repurposed.

Plans were approved for the project by DeLuca Homes in April 2021.
