Q1 2025 Performance

Net Sales

Weis Markets reported net sales of $1.20 billion, reflecting a 1.6% year-over-year increase over Q1 2024.

Year-over-Year

Year-over-Year: Net sales increased by 1.6% nominally, and 2.7% when normalized for holiday calendar effects.

Comparable Store Sales (Excluding Fuel)

Increased 1.0% YoY and grew 4.3% on a two-year stacked basis, reflecting sustained customer engagement and retail consistency.

Quarter-over-Quarter

Q1 sales were slightly lower than Q4 2024 ($1.23 billion), in line with seasonal expectations following the holiday peak.

Strong Performance Drivers

Weis’s performance this quarter was driven by significant regional weather events that boosted in-store traffic, price-competitive strategies across grocery, pharmacy, and fresh categories, and an accelerated loyalty marketing rewards program aimed at rewarding repeat customers and enhancing retention.

Industry insight from Adobe further underscores this momentum:

“Loyal shoppers have high expectations from their preferred brands. They seek strong omnichannel experiences, seamless physical-digital integration, and effective customer support. Additionally, they value ease of decision-making, product variety, and inventory availability.”

Online Sales

Weis expanded its ‘Weis 2 Go Online’ service to 191 store locations, enhancing customer convenience through online ordering, delivery, and pickup options. This continued digital rollout complements the company’s loyalty and omnichannel strategies.

Store Expansion and Size

In Q1 2025, Weis acquired and opened the former Saylor’s Market in Newville, PA, further expanding its footprint in Cumberland County.

“During the quarter, our net sales benefited from significant regional weather events, continuing product price investments, and the increased tempo of our loyalty marketing rewards programme,” said Jonathan H. Weis, Chairman, President and CEO.

 

Key Highlights

The company plans to construct four new stores, each exceeding 60,000 square feet, incorporating modern and sustainable design features. Of these, three stores—located in Lake Linganore, Charlotte Hall, and Waldorf, Maryland—are expected to open in 2025, while the fourth store, in Middletown, Delaware, is scheduled for early 2026.
