Wegmans Food Markets has reported that it is able to open all 81 of its stores, all of which were affected to some degree by Hurricane Sandy.
In areas most seriously affected by the storm, including in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Wegmans closed stores early Monday evening for the safety of its employees, but reopened this morning.
“We recognize that we provide an essential service, and not just food, but prescription and over–the-counter drugs,” said Jo Natale, Wegmans director of media relations. “Most of our stores have not been affected by power outages, but several were. We have been planning for days by testing our generators, bringing in additional generators where necessary, and securing an adequate fuel supply.”
Natale added, “our merchants have worked closely with suppliers so that we could have a steady supply of the most in-demand products, like water, milk, eggs, bread, batteries and other essentials.”
