Wegmans Food Markets – Natick Mall

CM&B partnered with Wegmans Food Markets to transform a former JCPenney anchor store at the Natick Mall into a 146,500 SF, multi-level grocery destination—the first of its kind for Wegmans within a major enclosed mall. The flagship store includes two full-service dining concepts: The Burger Bar and Blue Dalia Restaurant & Tequila Bar, along with seating for over 100 café diners. The project required significant structural upgrades, complex vertical circulation planning, and reworking mall access and site logistics to accommodate the unique demands of a full-scale grocery operation in a retail environment.
