Giant Food has announced that its Giant Pickup service is now free and available same-day within four hours of purchase at all 159 Giant Pickup locations in the greater Washington, D.C. region.
Last year Giant eliminated minimum order requirements for all Giant Pickup orders. Minimum order requirements for Giant Delivers were halved and delivery fees were eliminated for midweek orders and reduced significantly for popular Friday to Monday dates.
"Ecommerce demand continues to escalate as more customers discover the time-saving benefits of online shopping at Giant," said Gregg Dorazio, director of ecommerce for Giant Food, in a statement. "Free pickup on all orders makes this personalized service even more accessible. What could be more convenient than letting our trained associates do the shopping for you? We guarantee 100 percent satisfaction. Our customers can count on us to select the freshest foods.”
Giant also offers individuals and families using SNAP benefits the option to pay with an EBT card when placing online orders for Giant Pickup and Giant Delivers.
In an effort to expand beyond traditional grocery, in December Giant launched the Ship2Me marketplace within GiantFood.com, featuring over 60,000 items across categories including home décor, seasonal items, outdoor, and pet.
