Wegmans to Anchor Mixed-Use Center in Pennsylvania

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. -- Wegmans Food Markets will anchor Worthington Town Center, a 1.6-million-square-foot mixed-use project scheduled to open next year at the site of a former steel plant in Malvern, Pa., developer O‘Neill Properties Group here said yesterday. The Rochester, N.Y.-based retailer was chosen because “it sets the bar for the grocery industry in volume, customer service and loyalty. No one else comes close,” Brian O‘Neill, chairman of O‘Neill Properties, said in a statement. “The Worthington site meets all of Wegmans‘ new site criteria, including great regional access,” Ralph Uttaro, senior vice president of real estate development for Wegmans, said in a statement.
