This Massive Food Store Is Now Closing in Pennsylvania
A massive food store is now closing in Pennsylvania according to a new report from the Winsight Grocery Business.
The Giant Company (formerly known as Giant Food Stores) is an American regional supermarket chain that operates in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia under the Giant and Martin’s brands.
A Giant Food Store in Pennsylvania is now abruptly closing and will be replaced by a new ‘deluxe’ market.
According to a November 14th report from Winsight Grocery Business, The Giant Company is expanding its footprint in its native state with a new store in Salisbury Township, Allentown, set to begin construction in 2025 pending permits and approvals.
The new store will be in Lehigh County, which currently includes seven The Giant Co. stores employing more than 1,400 people.
Once completed, the retailer’s current store and fuel facility, located at 3015 West Emmaus Ave. in Allentown, will close.
“After 35 years at our current location on West Emmaus Ave., it’s time to grow our store footprint and move a little further up the road,” said John Ruane, president of The Giant Co., in a statement.
“A larger and updated store will allow us to offer our Allentown area families the latest amenities while underscoring our commitment to providing our customers with great value, the best quality and friendly service they’ve come to expect from Giant.”
Specific store amenities, as well as an opening date, will be announced later, the grocer said.
The Carlisle, Pennsylvania-based grocery retailer is also pushing its presence even further in the Philadelphia area with plans for its first store in Jenkintown, which is located 10 miles north of Philadelphia.
The new store will bring over 100 jobs to the area, the Ahold Delhaize USA banner announced in May.
