Wegmans is an American supermarket chain headquartered in Rochester, NY, with stores across the east coast. With over 110 locations and over 54,000 employees, they make $12.5 billion in annual sales[1].
In January 2026, several Wegmans stores in New York City (NYC) have implemented facial recognition systems. As of January 12, many of the implementation details of this data collection are unclear. Stores outside of NYC may have facial recognition systems that are undisclosed, and little information is known about how long biometric data is retained and how it is being secured.
