Giant Food Opens New Maryland Store
Giant Food will open a new store in Bethesda, Md., that replaces an existing store in the community.
The new store at 5320 Zenith Overlook will officially open its doors on Friday, January 26. The location being replaced is at 5400 Westbard Ave.
The opening brings a new pharmacy to the Bethesda community along with amenities, including full-service meat and seafood departments, an expanded gourmet cheese selection, expansive prepared food offerings, freshly made sushi and a Starbucks.
"We're thrilled to introduce a new store to the Bethesda community, including our newest pharmacy, offering ample space, expansive departments, great value and plenty of services and conveniences to delight our customers," said Ira Kress, president of Giant Food.
The full-service Giant Food Pharmacy offers a variety of services such as vaccine administrations by Giant's certified pharmacists, as well as free consultations, including recommendations and assistance with selecting appropriate over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription (Rx) products. Giant also recently expanded its Flexible Rewards loyalty program so members can earn points through eligible pharmacy transactions, including prescriptions and immunizations.
Giant is also proud to expand its partnership with local favorite and square pizza enthusiasts, Ledo Pizza. In the Giant Food Deli section, customers will find the same pastry-thin, square crust and sweet tomato sauce from Ledo Pizza since its first pizzeria opened in Adelphi, Maryland, during the 1950s.
Giant has also partnered with Ben's Chili Bowl, another well known D.C. restaurant, bringing an array of comfort foods to its one-stop-shopping experience.
"Food is a reflection of the communities in which we live. Unique restaurants like Ledo Pizza and Ben's Chili Bowl are special, integral fixtures that truly provide a taste of home," continues Kress. "Featuring them in our stores is something very special for Giant and our customers."
