Wegmans Sets Goal To Open In Boston

Wegmans Food Markets scouted properties in the South End and Fenway neighborhoods on Wednesday as possible locations for its first grocery store in Boston, according to several people briefed on the matter.

Wegmans chief executive Danny Wegman confirmed he was “looking at a couple of sites’’ in the city that did not include Downtown Crossing or the South Boston Waterfront, but he would not identify the properties.

“We believe we belong in Boston, not just in the suburbs,’’ Wegman told an audience earlier in the day during a speech before the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce.
