In 1916, John and Walter Wegman opened the Rochester Fruit & Vegetable Co., with the help of their parents. A century later, their store has become one of the most beloved places in Upstate New York.
Wegmans announced on Wednesday that it will be hosting parties in all stores to celebrate its 100th anniversary. All locations will observe the milestone at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 30.
During the Wegmans-wide celebration, a new portrait of Robert Wegman will be revealed. Each store will be serving cake that is decorated based on the store's location. All customers are welcome to the cake.
Employees will wear 100th anniversary uniform shirts with a new logo that will appear on some Wegmans products, including gift cards, reusable bags and reusable coffee mugs, the Democrat & Chronicle says. Additionally, anniversary editions of Menu magazine will be available for sale.
Wegmans currently has 88 operating stores in several states including New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland and Massachusetts. In 2015, Wegmans made Fortune's list of the 100 best places to work for the 18th year in a row. The grocery chain is one of only 12 companies that have appeared on the list each year since it began in 1998
