Giant Foods to Open New Maryland Location

Giant Food will open a new store in Crofton, Maryland, which replaces the current store in Gambrills. The location will officially open its doors on Friday, Jan. 20, and bring more than 200 new jobs to the local community.

The new store offers expanded natural and organic selections, an extensive gourmet cheese section, full-service meat and seafood departments and a wide variety of prepared food offerings, including made in-house fresh sushi and smoked meats. Additional amenities include a full-service pharmacy, Starbucks café, and a full-service floral department.

"This new store is designed to be a true one-stop shop for the Crofton community," said Ira Kress, president of Giant Food. "We look forward to delivering excellent value, an expanded assortment of fresh and convenient solutions, and a significantly improved shopping experience."

The full-service Giant Pharmacy offers a range of services, including vaccine administrations, and COVID-19 vaccines and booster. Free consultations led by a team of Giant's certified pharmacists include recommendations and assistance with selecting appropriate over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription (Rx) products.

Giant's Healthy Living Team of licensed nutritionists are also available to local shoppers for free consultations and online nutrition classes and webinars.
