WEGMANS FOOD MARKETS, INC.
WEGMANS FOOD MARKETS, INC. is a New York domestic business corporation, DOS ID 1199686, recorded as Active by the New York Department of State, with its biennial statement current (latest filed 15 September 2025, next due 30 September 2027). It is the operating company of the Wegmans supermarket chain: the Wegmans website terms name Wegmans Food Markets, Inc. at 1500 Brooks Avenue, Rochester, New York, as the contracting party for its sites, Shoppers Club and online orders, and the same address is the principal executive office on the state record.
Registration history
The corporation was incorporated on 3 September 1987 under the name Wegmans Industries, Inc. A Certificate of Merger filed on 22 December 1987 merged two older New York corporations into it, Wegman’s Food Markets, Inc. (DOS ID 40389, incorporated 23 March 1931) and Wegmans Enterprises, Inc. (DOS ID 309658, incorporated 17 June 1971), and changed its name to Wegmans Food Markets, Inc. Both constituents are recorded as merged out of existence on 27 December 1987. The certificate of incorporation was amended and restated in 2006. The 1916 date often given for Wegmans refers to the founding of the business by John Wegman, not to this corporation.
Business activities
Wegmans describes itself as a regional supermarket chain with more than 110 stores across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, serving New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C. and North Carolina, with about 53,000 employees and annual sales of $11.2 billion in 2021. These are figures for the Wegmans business as published on its careers site; the company does not state whether they cover Wegmans Food Markets, Inc. alone or with its affiliates. Its activities include grocery retail, pharmacies, prepared meals and catering, and Wegmans Brand products, some made at its Culinary Innovation Center in Rochester. Wegmans Food Markets, Inc. also holds active New York assumed names including Next Door Bar & Grill, Amore, Tastings Restaurant, Robata Grill, D & D Bistro, Chase Pitkin Heating & Cooling and Wegmans Transaction Services. It is not listed on any stock exchange.

Shareholders
Shareholders of WEGMANS FOOD MARKETS, INC.
WEGMANS FOOD MARKETS, INC. is a privately held New York corporation. New York does not require a business corporation to file a list of its shareholders with the Department of State, and its biennial statements record only the chief executive officer, the principal executive office and the service-of-process address. No shareholder of this corporation is named in a public filing reviewed for this profile, and the company has no securities registered for public trading.
The state record does show the corporation’s authorised share capital: 30,002,000 shares with a par value of $0.01. This is the number of shares the certificate of incorporation allows the company to issue, not the number issued, and it says nothing about who holds them.
