In other news, Wegmans is hiring and training for 250 part-time positions at its new Medford, Massachusetts, location that is set to open Nov. 5. The store will employ a total of 450 full- and part-time people.
Part-time positions are available in all departments, and there are a number of culinary positions, such as cooks and front of house, available. Select full-time openings remain for prepared foods, deli, produce and overnight grocery operations.
The 120,000-s.f. Medford supermarket will include a Market Café with indoor and outdoor seating and The Burger Bar, a casual restaurant counter that serves burgers, salads, sandwiches, specialty milkshakes, soups and sides.
This store will mark Wegmans’ fifth location in Massachusetts since opening in Northborough in 2011. Another new location is slated to open in Natick in 2018. Massachusetts currently is the only New England state in which Wegmans operates.
