The Wegmans store on James Street in East Syracuse and the one at the Western Lights shopping plaza in Geddes will no longer be open around the clock.
Starting March 3, both stores will be open from 6 a.m. to midnight, says Wegmans spokesperson Evelyn Carter.
“Both [stores] have limited customer flow during the hours after midnight,” she says.
Carter says the shortened hours will allow the Rochester–based grocer to shift workers to times when the stores are busier.
She adds that the stores — at 4256 James St. and the other at 4722 Onondaga Blvd. — are close to other Wegmans locations in DeWitt and Fairmount, respectively, that will remain open 24 hours a day.
Wegmans also announced similar cutbacks in hours at stores in Buffalo.
Carter notes that Wegmans is continuing to grow with a new store set to open in this fall in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
