The Germantown store will be the chain's first store in Montgomery County, a Wegman's spokeswoman told Patch.

The 123,000 square-foot supermarket is slated for Seneca Meadows Plaza. The store’s signature clock tower is already visible from Interstate 270, at exit 16.

Phill Quattrini will manage the Germantown store. The 25-year Wegmans veteran began working at the Rochester, NY-based chain during high school and eventually made his way to the Washington, DC region. He managed the Dulles, VA Wegmans in 2007 before opening new stores in Leesburg, VA and Frederick, MD.
