Wegmans Ranks Top Grocery Workplace for Women

Fortune named Wegmans Food Markets the top grocery workplace for women on its Best Workplaces for Women list, ranking it No. 20 overall. The list also included Instacart, Publix, Sheetz, and Target.

Why it matters

The ranking draws on employee feedback gathered through surveys of more than 640,000 female employees across the past year. It offers a snapshot of how major U.S. retailers and grocers compare on workplace experience for women.

Wegmans has appeared on the list for 11 consecutive years, while Publix has been named for four straight years and Target returned for the first time since 2021. The rankings are built from employee survey responses gathered by Great Place To Work, which partners with Fortune on the list.
