Wegmans in Cranberry to begin site work in April
The Cranberry Springs store will be the grocer's first location in the region
The Pittsburgh region’s first Wegmans grocery store will begin construction in April. Marcie Rivera, a Wegmans public relations representative for the Cranberry Springs development, said Monday that the grocer is “aiming to start site work for the store in April.”
Ron Henshaw, Cranberry Township’s director of planning and development services, confirmed everything is “aligned” for next month.
“We’ve heard it’s a year and a half to build a store like this, give or take a little bit, so they’ve got a long way to go, but we’re anxious for them to get started here,” Mr. Henshaw said.
Located on Cool Springs Drive, the 115,000-square-foot Wegmans is joining a legion of competition in Cranberry — the area is not only the headquarters of the region’s long-time market leader Giant Eagle, but also home to Walmart, Aldi, Target, Shop ‘n Save, Sam’s Club, Costco and B.J.’s Warehouse. The 13-acre site will sit on the larger, 100-acre Cranberry Springs development.

This map doesn't really show it, but the entire area where Route 228 intersects Route 19 and I-79, is already MASSIVELY overbuilt in shopping centers and retail complexes. I wonder whether Cranberry can support another one. However I'm glad to see that Wegman's is coming!
