Giant Co. Expanding In Philadelpha Metro
The Giant Company is expanding its store count in the Philadelphia metropolitan area with the April opening of its new location in Jenkintown.
Located at 93 York Road, the store will celebrate its grand opening on Friday, April 4. The 50,000 square foot store will operate daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and add more than 100 full- and part-time jobs to the local community. As part of the celebration, the first 200 customers will receive a Giant reusable shopping bag filled with product samples and other grand opening savings.
“While we have had a presence in Montgomery County for decades, this marks the first Giant in Jenkintown,” said John Ruane, president, The Giant Company. “Customers can expect the freshness, value and quality that Giant is known for, combined with brand new offerings, increased product variety, and plenty of fresh ideas no matter what type of meal or celebration they are shopping for.”
Dave Flanigan, a 32-year grocery veteran, has been appointed store manager of the newest Giant.
“No matter how customers choose to shop with us, the entire store team is excited to bring the Giant shopping experience to the Jenkintown community,” said Flanigan. “We have a lot of variety throughout the store to serve the grocery needs of our neighbors, including a strong focus on natural and organics, Kosher products, and plenty of grab-and-go options.”
The Jenkintown store strengthens Giant Co.’s presence in the immediate area. The closest Giant Co. stores to Jenkintown are located in Flourtown, Roslyn, and Huntingdon Valley.
