Update: Effective March 17, all Wegmans stores will be open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Wegmans also has temporarily closed all Market Cafe seating areas and in-store pubs and Burger Bars, as well as its Amore and Next Door restaurants.

All Wegmans and Tops locations will close overnight to allow the stores to be cleaned and items to restocked.

"We are changing our hours of operation to better serve our customers and communities," a Wegmans release stated.

Tops store hours will be revised to 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. in all stores until further notice, according to a release Sunday. Closing hours will remain the same at stores that already close at an earlier time.

All Wegmans stores in New York (except Brooklyn) will be open from 6 a.m. to midnight, while Brooklyn will be open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.

The temporary store hours for the rest of the chain will be as follows:

New England, New Jersey, Virginia, Pennsylvania (excluding Erie), North Carolina: 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.;

Erie, Pennsylvania: 6 a.m. to 12 a.m.;

Maryland: 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Wegmans announced it has increased the frequency of cleaning and sanitation in stores, distribution centers and offices, including additional hand sanitizer stations, restricted the use of reusable cups to the self-service coffee bar and added signage for reusable bag cleaning instructions.

The stores have been hit hard in recent days amid the coronavirus scare as consumers have raided stores for items like toilet paper, hand sanitizer and soap.

Wegmans is also limiting the purchase of certain high-demand products. "We continue to receive shipments of these products and are sending them out to stores as soon as they arrive," a release said.
