The Giant Co. will open a new store within the Andorra Shopping Center June 19 at 701 Cathedral Road in Philadelphia.
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 of The Giant Co.
“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. 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. “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 covering both fresh and frozen products. For busy families, the store features a hot food bar with smoked and barbecue meats, pre‑packed salad offerings in the deli, a specialty cheese case, and an in‑store sushi chef.
The store also offers a large beer and wine area featuring an assortment of wine slushies and ready‑to‑drink cocktails, along with a full‑service Starbucks coffee kiosk. Both are located on an elevated mezzanine overlooking the store.
