Wegmans to Open First Charlotte Location in 2026

Wegmans Food Markets, a popular New York-based grocery chain, is set to make its debut in Charlotte with the opening of its first location in Ballantyne in 2026. This long-awaited expansion is a significant development for Charlotte’s grocery market, as Wegmans is known for its high-quality products and unique shopping experience. The new store will feature expansive produce, meat, seafood, and cheese sections, as well as a market café with indoor and outdoor seating. With a mechanical train, rooster that crows on the hour, and a 600-plus-space parking lot, Wegmans is poised to provide a superior shopping experience for Charlotte residents.
