Giant Food Stores celebrated the grand opening of the new Walnutport store located at 300 S. Best Avenue on May 17. The new 55,000-s.f. store operates 6 a.m.-midnight seven days a week and employs approximately 200 full- and part-time associates.
“We are so proud to have joined the Walnutport community, and our team is ready to help busy families put good food on the table,” said Steve Bowlby, store manager. “To make life easier, our store focuses on easy, fresh meal ideas along with an extensive Beer & Wine Eatery, on-site fuel, and what’s more convenient than curbside pick-up with Giant Direct?”
The new Walnutport store features fresh departments coupled with expanded product variety and new offerings, including farm-fresh produce, full-service deli, full-service meat and seafood, full-service bakery, full-service floral, a Beer & Wine Eatery, a catering service and on-site fuel stations.
