Wegmans Gives Support to Whole Foods
Written by Site Hub on April 22, 2023
After a lengthy battle, Wegmans has announced that they are giving their “support” to the new Whole Foods Market in Brighton. A Wegmans spokesperson stated: “We compete with Whole Foods in practically every other market we operate in. The plaza was never zoned for this size development and the traffic issues have been our concern from day one. We, along with other businesses, supported the efforts to do the right thing for our community, all of the businesses on Monroe Ave, and the employees that work there. At this point, it was deemed good for our community, and they have our support.”
Daniele Family Companies LLC, the project’s developer, issued a statement as well: “My brother and I both attended high school together with Nicole and Colleen Wegman, who are truly wonderful people. It’s unfortunate these politics had to unfold, but in the end business is business and we never mix business with personal affairs. We’ll always embrace a sincere and deep rooted admiration towards the Wegmans family, and their extraordinary team.”
