Wegmans Releases 100th Anniversary Logo
AUSTIN, TX - Wegmans Food Markets has hit a large milestone and is launching a new logo to commemorate it.
In honor of its 100th anniversary, the retailer is unveiling a new logo that was designed internally by its marketing department creative team, according to the Rochester Business Journal.
Wegmans celebrates its centennial in its next business year, and since opening, has grown to a chain of 88 stores operating in several states including:
- New York
- Pennsylvania
- New Jersey
- Virginia
- Maryland
- Massachusetts
Wegmans is reportedly on track to continue expanding, with at least a dozen new stores already in the works. Founded back in 1916, the chain continues to be a family-owned business to this day. It has been named one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For by Fortune Magazine for 18 consecutive years, most recently as #7 for 2015.
The logo is being launched alongside the grand opening of its Wonderplace, a 1,700-square-foot gallery the company donated $1.5 million to create. The gallery is located at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History and is opening today.
