Wegmans Confirms New Upper West Side Store

Live Poll

Do you believe adding large retail chains to your neighborhood improves or harms the local community?

Wegmans has officially confirmed plans to open a new grocery store at 1932 Broadway on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The site formerly housed a Bed Bath & Beyond, which closed its doors in early 2023.

Why it matters

The move marks a significant expansion for the grocer after initial negotiations with the landlord, Glenwood, previously stalled. This second location follows the successful debut of the company's first Manhattan store at 770 Broadway in 2023.

The company is expanding its footprint following the 2023 launch of its 87,000-square-foot Astor Place store at 770 Broadway. Wegmans recently signaled the project at 1932 Broadway is moving forward after months of stalled negotiations.

The players

Wegmans

A family-owned supermarket chain that operates more than 100 stores across the Eastern United States.

Glenwood

A major New York City-based real estate developer and property management firm.

Bed Bath & Beyond

A former home goods retailer that filed for bankruptcy in 2023 and closed its physical store locations.

The details

Wegmans is currently focused on designing the interior store layout and securing the necessary municipal permits for the Broadway property. The site has remained vacant since the departure of the previous retail tenant.

Bed Bath & Beyond closed its store at the site in early 2023.
Wegmans opened its first Manhattan location in 2023.
Wegmans placed signage at the 1932 Broadway location in June 2024.
The project was officially confirmed to be moving forward on October 29, 2026.

Market Landscape

This project follows the pattern set by the 2023 opening of the Wegmans Astor Place store by establishing a secondary foothold in the Manhattan market. It positions the company to compete more aggressively for market share against other established urban grocery chains.

Residents of the Upper West Side can expect a new grocery option once the store reaches completion and opens for business. The repurposing of the former retail space will eventually provide local shoppers with a new destination for produce and pantry goods.

The takeaway

Large retailers often face lengthy periods of negotiation and permitting when repurposing legacy commercial real estate in high-density urban zones. Residents should monitor for future announcements regarding hiring events or store layout previews.
