Giant Food To Open New Maryland Store
Landover, Md.-based Giant Food will open a new store in its home state at 810 Fairmont Drive in Bowie. The store will celebrate its grand opening on March 28.
Located in the South Lake Marketplace development, this location represents a significant investment in Bowie’s future, according to the grocer. The new store will include full-service meat and seafood departments, an expanded gourmet cheese selection, expansive prepared food offerings, freshly made sushi, and a Starbucks.
“We are thrilled to open our new store in the South Lake Marketplace community bringing our neighbors a modern, customer-focused destination that creates the best shopping experience,” said Ira Kress, president of Giant Food. “It’s not just a grocery store—it’s a vibrant hub where families can connect, find great value, and explore the new features we’ve brought to this new development.”
South Lake Marketplace is designed to be a premier retail and entertainment destination, with more than 600,000 square feet of commercial space, integrating national brands and local favorites. With its proximity to Liberty Sports Park, which draws more than 344,000 visitors annually, South Lake is expected to become a regional hub for shopping, dining, and entertainment while driving substantial economic growth throughout Prince George's County.
As part of this expansion, Giant Food is introducing its 50th in-store Ledo Pizza location. In the Giant Food Deli section, customers will find Ledo’s familiar pastry-thin, square crust, and sweet tomato sauce. Customers will also be able to enjoy Ledo’s Take and Bake Ledo Pizza to warm up at home or order one fresh and hot from the oven.
Giant has also partnered with Ben’s Chili Bowl, a well-known Washington, D.C., restaurant, bringing an array of comfort foods to the store.
This new store replaces the Giant Food store located at 3500 NW Crain Hwy. in Bowie. All staff members were offered the opportunity to transfer to the nearby store and loyal customers will not experience an interruption in service as the new store will open the following morning.
