A Wegmans grocery store planned for Rockville is slated to open sometime in the “second half” of 2025, according to company spokesperson Mandee Puleo.
Puleo’s confirmation of the store’s timing Monday in an email to MoCo360 comes more than four years after the Rochester, New York-based supermarket chain announced plans for the Rockville store as a key tenant of the Twinbrook Quarter development.
The store at 1590 Rockville Pike will be the grocer’s second in Montgomery County and ninth in Maryland, the company said Thursday in a press release. The company also operates a store in Germantown at 20600 Seneca Meadows Parkway.
The 80,000 square-foot store will have two levels of parking below the store and shoppers will get 90 minutes of free parking, the release said. In addition, the store is expected to employ more than 500 part- and full-time positions and will be open from 6 a.m. to midnight daily.
Puleo said in the email that the grocer would share more details about the Rockville store in the spring.
The store will feature Wegmans’ “traditional departments” including prepared foods such as sushi, pizza, salads and sandwiches, and a variety of produce, seafood, meat, bakery, deli and cheese options, according to the release.
Wegmans was founded in 1916 by brothers John and Walter Wegman in Rochester, according to the company’s website. The grocer operates more than 100 stores across eight states and Washington, D.C.
