Wegmans, which already has 88 stores in several states, is looking to open its first store in North Carolina.
The News&Observer online newspaper says that Wegmans is considering a location in Cary, North Carolina, which is in the Raleigh-Durham area.
Wegmans spokesperson Jo Natale tells WXXI News that the company has signed a letter of intent and is working through lease negotiations with a developer. She says they hope to have a final lease agreement sometime during the first quarter of this year.
Rochester-based Wegmans already has stores in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland, and Massachusetts.
