Weis Markets, Inc. is a Pennsylvania business corporation, originally incorporated on 18 December 1924, and its status with the Pennsylvania Department of State is currently listed as active. Weis Markets, Inc. operates a regional chain of conventional supermarkets, tracing its retail origins to 1912, with its principal executive offices at 1000 South Second Street, Sunbury, Pennsylvania.

As of its fiscal year 2025 Form 10-K, Weis Markets, Inc. operated 202 retail food stores, ranging from about 8,000 to roughly 71,000 square feet, across seven states: Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Virginia and West Virginia. The company self-distributes approximately 52% of the products sold in its stores through its own distribution center and transportation fleet, and it operates three manufacturing facilities producing milk, water, ice, ice cream and fresh meat products for its store network. Weis Markets, Inc. employed over 22,000 full-time and part-time associates as of the end of fiscal 2025, most of them paid on an hourly basis.

Common stock of Weis Markets, Inc. trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol WMK. For its fiscal year ended 27 December 2025 (a 52-week period), the company reported total revenue of approximately $4.96 billion, a 3.5% increase over fiscal 2024, and net income of $93.69 million on a consolidated basis. In its Form 10-K for fiscal 2025, filed with the SEC on 12 March 2026, Weis Markets, Inc. disclosed that it had restated its financial statements for fiscal years 2022 through 2024 and the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 after identifying an inventory overstatement of up to approximately $22 million at a single meat-manufacturing plant, an error the company attributed to the actions of a former non-executive employee; the company stated the correction did not affect previously reported net sales.

Shareholders

1

Weis Markets, Inc.’s company record currently shows a single institutional shareholder, Vanguard Group Inc, reported as holding 1,490,283 shares as of a snapshot dated 4 September 2026. Based on the 24,744,597 shares of common stock the company reported outstanding as of March 2026, a holding of that size represents approximately 6% of the outstanding stock, which is lower than the percentage figure shown against that holding in the underlying data. Vanguard Group Inc and its affiliated investment funds have periodically filed Schedule 13G reports with the SEC disclosing beneficial ownership of Weis Markets, Inc. common stock at or above the 5% threshold in past years. In its most recent Schedule 13G/A, with an event date of 13 March 2026, Vanguard Group Inc reported holding 0 shares and 0% of the class at the parent-entity level, explaining that, following an internal reorganisation effective 12 January 2026, certain Vanguard subsidiaries now report their holdings separately rather than in aggregate with the parent. Vanguard-affiliated funds may therefore still hold shares of Weis Markets, Inc., but no single Vanguard entity currently discloses beneficial ownership above the 5% reporting threshold.

Because Weis Markets, Inc. is a US public company, its major-shareholder disclosures under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act only capture holders of 5% or more of its common stock, so this is a major-shareholders-only view rather than a complete shareholder register. Separately, the company’s 2026 annual meeting proxy statement (record date 10 March 2026) and a Share Purchase Agreement announced 6 June 2025 both disclose that a group of family shareholders and related entities, including Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Jonathan H. Weis, the Estate of Patricia G. Ross Weis, Jennifer Weis, Colleen Ross Weis, Ellen W. P. Wasserman, Kathryn J. Zox, Thomas H. Platz, James A. Platz and EKTJ Management LLC, together beneficially own or control approximately 61% of Weis Markets, Inc.’s outstanding common stock.

No single member of this family group is disclosed with an individual ownership percentage in the filings reviewed, so no individual ultimate beneficial owner can be identified from the available information; the 61% figure is a group-level disclosure rather than one attributable to any one person. Common stock of Weis Markets, Inc. carries one vote per share, and no separate high-vote share class was identified.

Shareholder information for Weis Markets, Inc. should be treated as major-shareholders-only: it reliably captures the family control group and any institutional holder crossing the 5% disclosure threshold, current as of the dates cited above, but it does not represent a complete list of every shareholder of record.

Officers

5

Pennsylvania’s corporate records for Weis Markets, Inc. list 37 officers on file, of which the profile above displays a sample, including several Vice Presidents and a Treasurer, all shown with an active work status. This state-level filing does not include appointment or resignation dates, nationality, or country of residence for any of these individuals, and the named individuals shown in that filing could not be independently corroborated against reputable external sources.

Separately, Weis Markets, Inc.’s own SEC filings identify a smaller group of senior executive officers current as of its 2026 annual meeting proxy statement (record date 10 March 2026): Jonathan H. Weis as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, a role he has held since 2015 and a company directorship he has held since 1996; Michael T. Lockard as Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, since 2021; Robert G. Gleeson as Chief Operating Officer; R. Gregory Zeh Jr. as Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer; and James E. Marcil as Senior Vice President, Human Resources. The same proxy statement lists five directors: Jonathan H. Weis, Harold G. Graber (a former Senior Vice President of Real Estate and Development at the company), and independent directors Dennis G. Hatchell, Edward J. Lauth III and Gerrald B. Silverman.

None of these officers or directors is disclosed with a nationality in the sources reviewed; neither Pennsylvania’s corporate filings nor the company’s SEC disclosures publish nationality information, and none has been inferred from names, addresses or countries of residence. The Vice President and Treasurer names recorded in the Pennsylvania state filing do not match the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer confirmed in the company’s SEC proxy statement, which suggests the state filing reflects a broader or differently timed set of company officers than the smaller executive team disclosed to the SEC; this is treated here as a data-availability limitation rather than a confirmed change in office.

Group Structure

Weis Markets, Inc. operates as an independent, publicly traded parent company; no corporate parent has been identified for it in Pennsylvania corporate records or in its SEC filings. Control of the company rests with a group of individual family shareholders, covered in the shareholder section of this profile, rather than with another corporate entity.

In its Form 10-K for fiscal year 2025 (Exhibit 21, filed with the SEC on 12 March 2026), Weis Markets, Inc. discloses three wholly owned subsidiaries: Dutch Valley Food Company, LLC, incorporated in Pennsylvania; Weis Transportation, LLC, incorporated in Pennsylvania; and WMK Financing, Inc., incorporated in Delaware. All three are reported as 100% owned direct subsidiaries as of that filing date.

Entity Country Relationship Ownership Status Information date
Dutch Valley Food Company, LLC United States (Pennsylvania) Direct subsidiary 100% Active 12 March 2026
Weis Transportation, LLC United States (Pennsylvania) Direct subsidiary 100% Active 12 March 2026
WMK Financing, Inc. United States (Delaware) Direct subsidiary 100% Active 12 March 2026

Zavia’s corporate-group data for Weis Markets, Inc. also lists three additional entity names, Superpetz, LLC, Superpetz II Inc and Albany Public Markets, Inc., that carry current Pennsylvania registration numbers but are not confirmed as active subsidiaries by the company’s most recent SEC subsidiary disclosure. External research indicates these correspond to historical relationships rather than current ones: Weis Markets acquired an 80% stake in the SuperPetz pet-supply chain in 1993 and had divested its remaining SuperPetz stores by 2011, and it operated the Albany Public Markets grocery chain in New York from 1967 until closing those stores in 1986. Their continued appearance in state corporate-group records likely reflects dormant or unwound corporate shells rather than ongoing operating subsidiaries, and they are presented here as historical relationships, not verified current ones.

Corporate-linkage information for Weis Markets, Inc. is best described as partial: the absence of a parent and the currently significant subsidiaries are well documented through SEC disclosure, but the state-level group data includes older entity names that require the historical qualification above.
