(Cranberry Township, PA) Wegmans Food Markets Inc. has completed a key step toward opening its first store in the Pittsburgh area.

Property records show the Rochester, New York-based grocer has purchased land at the Cranberry Springs development in Cranberry Township.

The site, part of a 100-acre mixed-use project along Route 228 near Interstate 79, was sold by Sippel Enterprises LP and its principal, Gary Sippel, to an entity linked to Wegmans.

According to public records, the property sold for just over $14.1 million. The grocer has been approved to build a 115,000-square-foot store on the roughly 13-acre site.
