Expansion is in the air at the GIANT Company as the retailer announced that it will be fortifying its position in the East Coast market with a new location. The store is situated in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, region and is currently set to open on November 12 with Sabita Singh, a 25-year grocery vet, as Store Manager.
“This store deepens The GIANT Company’s commitment to serving today’s busy families within the City of Philadelphia, saving them money and time for what matters most,” said Singh. “From our farm-fresh produce to the global flavors across the store, there’s something for every table. No matter how customers choose to shop with us, in-store or online, we’re simplifying the grocery experience so they can then spend more time connecting with family over a meal.”
The new 67,000-square-foot store will operate seven days a week and employ approximately 150 full- and part-time team members, according to a press release.
The Cottman, Pennsylvania-based location will feature GIANT’s signature fresh departments with expanded product variety and new offerings.
