The grocery store chain confirmed on Monday that it has plans to open a location in Cranberry on Cool Spring Drive, near the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex. Wegmans says the new store will sell a variety of food, including produce, bakery goods and deli products, and offer a large selection of wine and beer.

The new location will be part of the Cranberry Springs mixed-use development, which includes luxury single-family homes and apartments, Class A office buildings and other retail operations, including restaurants. The company expects to hire 400 to 500 employees, the majority of them local.

A lot of people are excited that grocery chain Wegmans is entering the Pittsburgh market. But, what makes the store so appealing and what does it mean for shoppers at places like Giant Eagle and others?
