Wegmans Food Markets Inc. on Thursday announced the grand opening dates for the grocery chain’s two Richmond-area stores.

A 115,000-square-foot Wegmans in the Stonehenge Village Shopping Center on Midlothian Turnpike in Chesterfield County will open May 22, the company said in a media release.

A 120,000-square-foot West Broad Marketplace location, about a mile west of Short Pump Town Center in western Henrico County, is set to open Aug. 7.

The high-end grocery chain with a reputation for outstanding customer service also announced that each location will feature a full-service family restaurant within the store — The Pub by Wegmans.

Hiring and training are underway for both stores, the company said. Each of the stores will have about 550 employees, 500 of whom will be new to the company and hired locally.

“Now is the time to apply. Although our stores won’t open for several months, we bring new employees on board quickly in order to provide best-in-class training,” said Wegmans human resources manager Heather Gole.
