Wegmans Food Markets will open its first store in Charlotte, North Carolina, at 9 a.m. Oct. 14.
Located in Charlotte’s Ballantyne neighborhood at 11550 North Community House Road, it’s the company’s fifth store in the Tar Heel State and less than a half mile from mixed-use development The Bowl at Ballantyne, which includes a luxury apartment tower, retail shops, restaurants and entertainment options.
What will the Ballantyne Wegmans include?
Spread over 110,000 square feet, the Ballantyne Wegmans will include all the traditional departments — produce, seafood, meat, bakery, deli and cheese — as well as prepared foods, Meals2Go and a large beer and wine section.
The company revealed its plans for the store, along with Ballantyne developer Northwood Investors, in the spring of 2024, ending years of speculation. Construction began in September 2025.
At the time the store was announced, Clifton Coble, senior vice president of development for Northwood Office, said: “As we’ve continued to enhance the offerings all across Ballantyne, we’ve seen the need for a more experiential grocer in the community. Wegmans, of course, was top of mind. We recognize how beloved it is throughout the East Coast and North Carolina and are ecstatic for it to join our tenant mix.”
Wegmans is looking to hire
As construction continues, Wegmans is looking to hire people for full-time roles at its Ballantyne location, including in sushi, pizza, restaurant foods, deli, cheese, seafood and bakery. The store also is looking for part-time workers, including as cashiers.
Applications are being accepted at jobs.wegmans.com/Ballantyne. For more information, call (980) 467-7333.
Where are Wegmans’ other North Carolina stores?
Wegmans’ other North Carolina stores are in Chapel Hill, Raleigh, West Cary and Wake Forest.
Founded and headquartered in Rochester, New York, in 1916, Wegmans has 114 stores in nine eastern states and the District of Columbia.
