Destined to become the Main Line’s most beloved supermarket, Wegmans King of Prussia is booming with thousands of shoppers a day! Within a 10-mile radius of the new store, there are already 64,000 people who have Wegmans’ Shoppers Club card.

At last!

Sometimes the impossible just takes a little longer. That’s the case for Wegmans’ new 123,000 sq. ft. King of Prussia store located at the intersection of North Gulph and North Warner Roads, which opened Sunday, May 6th.

It was 1996 when Wegmans first set its sights on one day opening a store in King of Prussia. There were 54 Wegmans stores, at the time, in two states (NY and PA), and just 5 of those stores were in Pennsylvania. The company identified the Greater Philadelphia area as an ideal place for what Wegmans was uniquely positioned to offer: incredible service and selection, restaurant-quality prepared foods, and low prices. In the years since, Wegmans has opened stores in South Jersey, and in Downingtown, Warrington, Collegeville, and Malvern, PA, patiently waiting for the time when a site would come together in King of Prussia.

Fast forward to 2012: There are now 80 Wegmans stores in six states, with 15 in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the list of places finally includes King of Prussia.

“It took a while for us to get here,” says King of Prussia Store Manager Kevin Lang, “so you can imagine how eager we were to open our doors to new shoppers and to those who have traveled the extra distance to shop at our other stores waiting for this one to open.” Within a 10-mile radius of the new store, there are already 64,000 people who have Wegmans’ Shoppers Club card, and new people are signing up every day on the King of Prussia store’s dedicated web site, according to Lang.

Wall O’ Beer
Wegmans boasts over 800 selections of domestic and imported beer!

Lang and his team of 600 employees (550 new-to-the company) have been working for months to hire and train the best and get the place ready for what is expected to be a very successful 2012.

Executive Chef Chris Happel is part of that team. His focus: The Market Café, which seats 300 indoors and outdoors, including The Pub where food is served to order. “The Pub at this store has double the seating capacity of our other Pubs,” says Happel, “and includes a bar for more than 30 and booth and banquette seating for 80.” A first for Wegmans, debuting at this store, is an outdoor fireplace for dining al fresco.
