"'Never think about yourself; always help others.'
"The motto of the late Robert 'Bob' Wegman, who pioneered the Wegmans Food Markets founded by his father and uncle, hangs up with his portrait in his one-stop supermarkets. But the business philosophy on which the Catholic merchant founded the family-owned company came from the lesson the Sisters of Mercy taught him as a boy in Catholic elementary school: The most important thing in life is getting to heaven.
"Today, Wegmans Food Markets, headquartered in Rochester, New York, has 92 stores in six states and is recognized as one of 12 companies in Fortune magazine's 'Great Place to Work Legends.' In fact, Fortune recognized Wegmans in 2017 as the second-best place to work in the U.S. - runner-up only to Google."
A recent National Catholic Register article profiled Wegmans and the way Catholic Social Teaching affects its work.
