ROCHESTER, NY - Hiring sprees are popping up again, with Wegmans Food Markets looking to fill a couple hundred positions, both full- and part-time, in both Maryland and Virginia. It is not simply for the holiday rush, however.

"While a lot of retailers are looking for seasonal help this time of year, we're hiring new team members for year-round positions," Bob Farr, Wegmans’ Virginia Division Manager, said an announcement last week, according to the Baltimore Sun.

The retailer is hiring for seven stores in each state, 14 total, including the following Baltimore areas:

• Abingdon
• Columbia
• Gambrills
• Hunt Valley
• Owings Mills

Positions include entry-level managers and staff on culinary and perishable teams. Open departments include produce and prepared foods, as well as bakery, meat, deli, pizza, sub shop, and cheese shop.

Recently we reported that the family-owned chain could be looking to expand further, cracking into the increasingly competitive North Carolina market. Its first store in the state is slated to open in January.

With more than 90 stores in five eastern states, Wegmans assured that employees can expect opportunities for growth, competitive pay, and benefits, as well as formal development programs and on-the-job training.
