Comments on: Can I Start Camping Out in Westwood Now? http://katherinehas.wordpress.com/2008/12/05/ohwegmans/ Sports Girl: noun, girl who does NOT nag guys about their sports obsessions, but instead, often kicks their butt with her football picks Wed, 28 Jan 2009 00:32:44 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: katherinehas http://katherinehas.wordpress.com/2008/12/05/ohwegmans/#comment-334 katherinehas Sat, 06 Dec 2008 18:28:57 +0000 http://katherinehas.wordpress.com/?p=487#comment-334 Hi Karen! Thanks for your comment! Right now, the plan is for the first Massachusetts Wegmans to be built in Westwood, MA (the southern suburbs of Boston, not all that far away). I think it is being built by the Westwood commuter rail station as part of a complex called, "Westwood Station." I can't find anything about an official timeline, but I think they usually take at least a year to build a store. I know from a friend's brother who works for a Wegmans in Rochester that their store manager started asking employees over the summer if they would be interested in transfer to a potential Massachusetts location within the next year. Wegmans updates their website with tentative opening time periods for new stores on a regular basis, but they have yet to mention the Westwood store. I'll be sure to mention on my blog if I hear anything else about a timeline! Thanks again, Karen!!! -Kat Hi Karen!

I grew up in Buffalo, NY and worked at Wegmans for nearly 2 years. It's been nearly 10 years since I lived in Buffalo but I always make a point when I go home to pick up groceries at Wegmans. I'm up in Boston now - can you give me a better sense about where they will be building it? And definitely start that countdown! I know EXACTLY what you mean and am SO excited!!
