Natick Wegmans To Close This Summer

NATICK, MA — Wegmans will close its Natick store sometime this summer, company officials announced Thursday.

The company said store employees were notified throughout the day, and that all 365 of them have been offered positions at other area stores.

“Making these decisions is never easy. However, we do it for the long-term benefit of our people, our customers, and our communities,” said Brien MacKendrick, human resources director, Wegmans New England division.

“Unfortunately, with this non-traditional location we are unable to attract enough customers for our business model to work.”

The Natick Wegmans is located inside the Natick mall and opened in 2018. It marked a first for the company as the first multi-level store within a major mall.

At 134,000 square feet, it is one of the company’s largest locations.

Wegmans has five additional stores in the Greater-Boston area, and approximately 2,700 employees. Wegmans does not have plans to close any other stores.
