Customer-friendly technology will allow customers greater speed, convenience, and efficiency while shopping. In the area of health and wellness, the store will feature a health "food store within a store" and Giant's private label organic and natural products, Nature's Promise, including the recently rolled out Nature's Promise meats. Additionally, the store will feature a "Your Neighborhood Drug Store at Giant", Bucks County Coffee, a Wi-Fi Cafe, an International Cheese Island, and the Tree House, an on-site supervised children's play area.
The Huntingdon store, scheduled to open Oct. 25, was built on 26 acres adjacent to a 39,000-square-foot Giant store. Upon the opening of the new store, Giant will close the older store.
Giant Food Stores, one of four retail-operating companies under Ahold USA, operates 103 stores as Giant Food Stores, 119 stores as Tops Markets, and 26 stores as Martin's Food Markets. With almost 38,000 associates, Giant serves a six-state market area: Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, Virginia, West Virginia, and Ohio.
