CARLISLE, PA - The GIANT Company, known locally as GIANT and MARTIN’S, announced its new store located within the Andorra Shopping Center at 701 Cathedral Road, Philadelphia, will officially open its doors on Friday, June 19 at 8 a.m. The nearly 50,000 square foot store will operate from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week, and add more than 160 full- and part-time jobs to the local community.
“The opening of our newest GIANT in the City of Brotherly Love reflects our continued commitment to serving a Philadelphia that continues to grow and thrive—especially as the city prepares for a landmark summer ahead,” said John Ruane, president, The GIANT Company, in the recent release. “We are proud to welcome the Andorra neighborhood and deliver the value, freshness, and kindness our team brings to Philadelphia shoppers every day.”
Christina McAdams, a 25-year grocery veteran, has been appointed store manager of the newest GIANT. Team members and community leaders will gather for a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 19. As part of the celebration, the first 200 customers will receive a GIANT reusable shopping bag filled with product samples and other grand opening savings.
“Just in time for summer celebrations, our team is ready to serve customers no matter how they want to shop with us – whether it's in-store or online,” said McAdams, GIANT store manager. “From convenient amenities, enhanced product variety, and everyday savings, we can’t wait to bring the GIANT shopping experience to the Andorra community.”
Customers will find GIANT’s signature fresh departments, including a large, market-feel produce department with dedicated space for organics, meat and seafood, service deli with pre-sliced meats and cheeses, dairy, bakery, full-service floral, and a separate healthy, natural, and organic section including both fresh and frozen products. For today’s busy families, the store features a hot food bar which includes smoked and barbeque meats, pre-pack salad offerings in the deli, specialty cheese case, and an in-store sushi chef.
The new store also offers a large beer and wine area featuring an assortment of wine slushies and ready-to-drink cocktails and a full-service Starbucks coffee kiosk. Both are located on an elevated mezzanine overlooking the store.
In addition, the store will offer GIANT Direct. Designed to serve customers when and how they want to shop, GIANT Direct gives busy families the opportunity to order their groceries online for easy curbside pick-up at giantdirect.com.
