WASHINGTON — A new grocery store is coming to D.C. and hiring and training is already underway. Wegmans Food Markets' first store will open in Northwest in 2022.
According to a press release, the store will be located at the intersection of Wisconsin Avenue and Rodman Street as part of the historic building that formerly housed the Fannie Mae headquarters.

Those interested in full-time positions are encouraged to apply online at Wisconsin Ave Alexandria Jobs. Available full-time positions include entry-level management, customer service, overnight grocery and culinary roles such as chefs and line cooks.
Hiring to part-time positions will start at a later date.
