Wegmans made waves when the upstate-favorite chain opened their first New York City location back in 2019, followed by a Manhattan location in a former Kmart at Astor Place last year. Now, Wegmans is on track to bring a third location to the city on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. At 58,000 square feet, it'll be one of the smaller Wegmans but one of the largest supermarkets in Manhattan. It's a former Bed Bath & Beyond in a very high-profile location -- directly across the street from Lincoln Center.

Signage has appeared in the windows of the street-level floor, although I'm not positive exactly where the entrance and exit will be. The door seen here appears to be the door to the residential floors above, not the ground floor commercial space. There's no projected opening date yet, but work is ongoing. Wegmans is also working on, among others, locations on Long Island in Lake Grove and in Connecticut in Norwalk, their first store in either region. I'll be back to check it out as work progresses and the store opens! For now, here's a look at today's other New York City posts (and tomorrow will be another day of Stop & Shop!).

• Wegmans is under construction at Lincoln Square (this post)
• Fast-growing chain Lincoln Market opens in Greenwich Village
• CTown prepares to move a block over in Canarsie, occupying a former Rite Aid
