From a press release:

“With the kickoff of a new year, hiring for Wegmans Food Markets’ two metro D.C. stores is underway. Opening in the spring and summer, Wegmans is looking for more than 600 employees to join their Carlyle-Alexandria and Wisconsin Ave. teams.

Located in Northwest Washington, D.C. at City Ridge, hiring for more than 300 part-time positions at the 84,000 sq. ft. Wisconsin Ave. store is set to begin this week. Opening in the summer, part-time customer service roles are available throughout the store in culinary, merchandising, service, and perishable departments.

Hiring for full-time positions began in October, and select openings remain for entry-level management positions including bakery and culinary leadership roles. Applicants are encouraged to apply online here or call 202-449-1511 for more information.

“We’re looking for friendly people who share our passion for food and are eager to learn and grow with us,” said Wisconsin Ave. Store Manager Kevin Russell. “We hire employees who demonstrate our company values, including respect, empowerment, and high standards. If the candidate has the right attitude, we can teach them all the other skills needed to be successful.”

Carlyle-Alexandria

Opening this spring, Store Manager Mike Anthony and his team are preparing to hire nearly 300 part-time positions for the 81,300 sq. ft. store located at 150 Stovall St. in Alexandria. These openings span a variety of positions across every department in the store, from culinary roles to customer service representatives. In total, the store will employ nearly 450 people, most of whom will be new to the company and hired locally.

The Carlyle team will host a virtual hiring event on Thursday, January 20 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Interested applicants should submit an online application in advance of the event online through this link.
