NOTTINGHAM, Md. — Weis Markets is thinking about its customers beyond their wallets.

Each location in Maryland will now have automated external defibrillators (AEDS).

The Weis on Belair Road in Nottingham was the first store in line to get this life-protecting equipment.

These tools equip anyone to save a person experiencing cardiac arrest. Giving users audio and visual prompts to ensure proper use.

Baltimore County Fire was on site, giving free AED and CPR training to shoppers.

Even though Weis is leading the way, they won’t be alone, by January 1, 2025, all grocery stores in Maryland will be required to have AEDs.
