Specialty Food Association

The Giant Co. is planning four new stores in Philadelphia, including a 32,000-square-foot store in the Fashion District, a 46,000-square-foot store on Columbus Boulevard, a 50,000-square-foot store on North Broad Street, and a 40,000-square-foot location on South Broad Street. Store amenities and opening dates will be shared at a later date.

“The Giant Co. is committed to Philadelphia and this expansion across our family of brands exemplifies our strategy in action,” said Nicholas Bertram, president, The Giant Co., in a statement. “True to its reputation of being the City of Brotherly Love, Philly families have wholeheartedly embraced Giant, Giant Heirloom Market, and Giant Direct and that has only fueled our team to dream bigger and more boldly as we shape our plans for tomorrow. We’re excited about our future in Philadelphia and to be expanding across the city, with stores designed for both families and commuters that meet the needs of each unique neighborhood.”

In addition, renovations are underway at the company’s new Giant Direct ecommerce fulfillment center located on Island Avenue, which will provide more capacity, faster order fulfillment, and room to grow home grocery delivery, in response to the increasing number of customers who want to order online.

“The Giant brand has long been a trusted partner for families in the suburbs,” added Bertram. “As we deepen our presence in the city, no matter how our customers choose to shop, in store or online, The Giant Co. will be there, offering the grocery solutions they’re counting on to help them spend more time gathered with family around the table.”
