ROCHESTER, NY - Life can be a whirlwind sometimes. One year, you’re entering a new job; the next thing you know, that job turns into a career with a legacy name. For Nicole Wegman, that initial step has led her to a 31-plus year career with Wegmans Food Markets. The Senior Vice President of Wegmans Brand will be donning a new hat as she steps in as the President of Wegmans Brand.

Nicole Wegman joined Wegmans in 1989. Since then, she has risen to new and advancing positions, recently as the Senior Vice President as of 2017. Nicole Wegman is the daughter of Danny Wegman, the current Chairman. Contributing to the strong family ties within the company is Colleen Wegman, Danny’s daughter and sister of Nicole, who is currently the President and Chief Executive Officer of the grocery company.

Chairman Danny Wegman also commented on Nicole's recent appointment.

“Our mission is to help people live healthier, better lives through exceptional food,” he said. “The innovation we’re able to bring to life through our trusted brand enables us to deliver on that mission. Nicole is leading this effort across our company to ensure we only bring the very best to our customers.”

For the past 105 years, Wegmans Brand has played an increasingly important role in the company’s growth strategy. As noted in the release, innovation and unique items with great taste is what sets the brand apart and helps make its stores a destination for families and food enthusiasts.
