Art Zimmer, owner/publisher of the Syracuse New Times, announced today that nine area Wegmans supermarkets will be added to the distribution network for the circulation of the newspaper.

The Syracuse New Times is currently distributed to more than 900 outlets throughout Central New York. The New Times is the most popular publication in Central New York. The addition of these nine prime Wegmans locations will increase the accessibility of the popular newspaper even more.

The locations selected are:

7518 Oswego Road, Liverpool

700 First North St., Syracuse (Pond Street store)

6789 E. Genesee St., Fayetteville (DeWitt store)

4722 Onondaga Blvd., Syracuse

7952 Brewerton Road, Cicero

4979 W. Taft Road, Liverpool

3955 Route 31, Liverpool

4256 James St., East Syracuse

3325 W. Genesee St., Syracuse (Fairmount)

Additional locations may be added soon.

No current outlets or circulation numbers were decreased to accommodate this expansion.  Several thousand additional papers will be printed each week to fill the Wegmans racks.

The Syracuse New Times circulates more than 35,000 copies per week and the popular Web site, www.syracusenewtimes.com, receives over a million hits per month.

The New Times' circulation numbers are certified as correct by a national auditing firm, so they cannot be exaggerated as many other publications do.

To find out the location of some of the New Times outlets near you, call (315) 422-7011. The New Times is distributed free to the 900+ locations every Wednesday. You may subscribe and have it mailed to you every week, just call 422-7011.

The popular Family Times magazine, the only parenting guide in Central New York, is also distributed at Wegmans plus more than 550 locations throughout the area. (www.familytimes.biz)
