The Giant Co. Continues to Expand in Philly

The Giant Co. is expanding its presence in the greater Philadelphia area, adding two stores that will open in the coming weeks.

First covered by Store Brands’ sister publication Progressive Grocer, the new Ahold Delhaize USA banner stores will open on June 24 and July 1. The opening of the two stores is part of the company’s continued growth within the greater Philadelphia area. 

Over the past year, the Giant Co. has opened four new stores in Philadelphia: its urban flagship store on Riverwalk, a store on Cottman Ave., a store on Christopher Columbus Blvd. and an Heirloom Market in the Fashion District.

“As a company, we are committed to helping connect families over a meal by offering convenient, time-saving and fresh meal solutions, whether in-store or online,” said Manuel Haro, divisional VP of The Giant Co. “Our new North Broad and Richboro stores reinforce that commitment to our customers while also continuing our growth strategy within the city of Philadelphia and the surrounding communities.”

The North Broad store is 50,700 square feet, and will employ 150 people, while the Richboro store is 49,800 square feet and will employ 170 people. Both stores will offer the company’s signature farm-fresh produce, fresh meat and seafood; a bakery; and a new Beer & Wine eatery that will also serve slushie options. Additionally, customers will be able to take advantage of the company’s Giant Direct program, which gives customers the opportunity to order their groceries online for easy pickup or delivery.

The Giant Co. operates nearly 190 stores, 132 pharmacies, 107 fuel stations, and 150-plus online pickup hubs, with grocery delivery service available in hundreds of ZIP codes.
