ABOUT US:

Wegmans Food Markets, Inc. is a privately-held, family owned company that was founded in 1916 by the Wegman family. Based in Rochester, NY, we have raised the bar on the customer shopping experience. The company prides itself on offering exceptional customer service, high quality goods, an abundance of choice, restaurant-quality prepared foods, and beautiful stores and displays.

Wegmans has more than 35,000 employees and offers exceptional benefits, including an employee scholarship program. We also provide flexible scheduling, a challenging work environment and caring management throughout all levels of the organization. In fact, in 2005, FORTUNE Magazine ranked Wegmans #1 on its list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For.

Wegmans puts a huge emphasis on being an innovator in retail technology. In 1974, Wegmans was one of the first companies to introduce bar-code scanning, and in 1990 Wegmans introduced electronic discounts. The company launched its web site, wegmans.com in 1996. The site not only helps customers save time and money through its on-line ad, but also offers meal solutions, recipes, and even provides the ability to apply for jobs within the company.

QUICK FACTS:

· Ranked #3 on FORTUNE magazine's 2008 list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For. Wegmans has been on the list every year since it began in 1998.

· A major regional supermarket chain, and one of the largest private companies in the U.S.

· An early adopter of new technology: Their Web site helps customers save time, money, and feed their families well. Shoppers can browse weekly specials, search through a library of recipes, or look up nutritional information for prepared foods. Wegmans was one of the first supermarkets to introduce electronic discounts in 1990 and bar-code scanning in 1974. Robert Wegman co-chaired the public policy subcommittee for the grocery industry development of the UPC.

· Known for exceptional levels of charitable donations. Giving is focused on programs that reduce hunger, help young people succeed, and strengthen neighborhoods. Wegmans gave food banks 14 million pounds of food in 2005.

· Known for strong employee benefit programs, especially their employee scholarship program.

· Industry analyst Neil Stern, quoted in a 1994 front-page story about Wegmans in the Wall Street Journal, said, “We consider them the best chain in the country, maybe in the world.”
