LANDOVER, Md. — Ahhold Delhaize USA’s Giant Food regional grocery chain, which operates in the greater Washington D.C. area, said on Monday that it planned to open a new store in Maryland at the end of the week.
The store, set to hold its grand opening at 6 a.m. on August 23, measures more than 66,730 square feet and is located at 10210 Mill Run Circle in Owings Mills, Md.
The new Owings Mills store will also feature Giant’s Pickup service, which launched earlier this summer. That service allows shoppers to place their grocery orders online at GiantFood.com. Store associates will hand-select, pack and deliver orders right to shoppers’ cars, the company said.
This is the first store to be built from the ground up with Giant’s new store format and design. Upgraded and enhanced features at the new store include expanded hot and prepared food selections, fresh sushi, an extensive organic section and a full-service pharmacy. The store will also house a PNC Bank branch and Starbucks as well as expanded cheese, deli, meat and seafood departments.
“We are extremely excited to be opening our new store in Owings Mills, a community we have been embedded in since 1980,” said Ira Kress, interim president of Giant Food. “The new location will be packed with improved features, including the brand-new Giant Pickup service, a full-service pharmacy and a large organic and healthy food section.”
The new store will replace Giant Food outlets at 9934 Reisterstown Road and 9730 Groffs Mill Drive in Owings Mills, which will close the night before the new store opens. The new store will result in the addition of more than 50 new local jobs, the company said.
