The Giant Company opened its new Parkesburg, Pennsylvania, store Nov. 6 at The Shoppes of Sadsbury, 880 Nova Way, marking the grocer’s 14th Giant store in Chester County. The 60,000-square-foot store operates 6 a.m.-10 p.m. daily.
“There’s nothing better than opening the doors to a new Giant and welcoming customers into a store built with their needs in mind,” said John Ruane, president of The Giant Company. “Just in time for tonight’s dinner and the holiday season, customers will find that our new Parkesburg store has everything they need to make everyday meals easier and celebrations more memorable, all delivered with the value, freshness and kindness that define The Giant Company.”
Mike Smith, a 31-year grocery veteran, has been named store manager. Team members and community leaders gathered for a ribbon-cutting ceremony before the Nov. 6 opening.
Fresh departments anchor the store
The store features a market-feel produce department with dedicated space for organics and global items, meat and seafood with a smoked salmon case, a service deli, a bakery with donuts made daily in-store and full-service floral. The beer and wine area includes ready-to-drink wine slushies, and meal solutions span a hot bar of freshly prepared foods, pre-packed deli salads, specialty cheeses and an in-store sushi chef. The in-store pharmacy includes an immunization room for privacy.
“There’s a lot of excitement among our team as we prepare to celebrate our grand opening and welcome the Parkesburg community to their new Giant,” said Smith. “With the freshest food, services designed to make life a little easier, and friendly service from our team members, we’re proud of what we’ve built and look forward to helping our neighbors make every shopping trip a great experience.”
The store also offers Giant Direct online ordering with curbside pickup.
