Wegmans Hiring For Harrison Store

HARRISON, NY – Aficionados of Wegmans, the upstate New York supermarket chain whose transplanted fans clamor for sites in their communities, get ready. Construction is about to begin on the Wegmans Food Market in Harrison.

With site work nearly complete, the Rochester-based supermarket chain is now seeking 220 full-time employees to staff the new store. It is scheduled to open in spring 2020.

“We bring new employees on board to begin training quickly after they’re hired,” said Store Manager Matthew Dailor, who began working at Wegmans 25 years ago as a part-time parking lot attendant. “Our commitment to in-depth training is the main reason we begin the hiring process so early. These jobs provide competitive pay with industry-leading benefits, flexible scheduling, and most importantly, a great place to work.”

Available full-time jobs include everything from customer service and entry-level management, to a wide range of culinary positions such as chefs and line cooks. Hiring for part-time positions will begin at a later date.

When open, the Harrison store will employ more than 500 people, most whom will be hired locally, company officials said.

Applications are not accepted at the store construction site, nor will interviews be conducted there. Candidates are invited to apply online now or call 914-539-3700 for more information.

Wegmans has a long-standing reputation for two things: its customers rave about it and its employees like working there.

For 22 consecutive years it has ranked high on FORTUNE magazine’s list of “The 100 Best Companies to Work For,” placing third in 2019.

The family company, founded in 1916, is admired for incredible customer service, the best ingredient selection, and consistent low prices.
