Giant Food unveiled its first in-store fast-casual restaurant in partnership with Maryland-based Nalley Fresh. Housed in Giant's Ellicott City, Maryland location, the eatery opened Thursday and offers healthy and fresh meal options.
Serving lunch and dinner, Nalley Fresh features a wide variety of customizable salads, wraps, and bowls. The restaurant allows customers to create personalized meals from house-made proteins and over a hundred topping options, including dressings, sauces, and broths. It offers vegan and vegetarian protein options, international flavors, and more.
"We are thrilled to bring Nalley Fresh to our Ellicott City store and provide our customers with an unbeatable one-stop shopping experience," said Gregg Dorazio, director of ecommerce at Giant Food, in a statement. "We know our customers will enjoy the convenient, healthy, and delicious meal offerings, and we're proud to welcome this local concept right in-store at Giant."
Giant Food's partnership with Nalley Fresh marks the restaurant chain's tenth location. It is equipped with the ability to fulfill third-party delivery orders from services like Uber Eats and DoorDash.
"We are very excited to partner with a local brand like Giant Food to provide the Nalley Fresh experience for their customers," said Greg Nalley, founder of Nalley Fresh, in a statement. "We look forward to providing nutritious, delicious food that is backed up by premier customer service in a friendly and fun atmosphere."
