Giant Food has scheduled the grand opening of a redeveloped store located at 9580 Livingston Road, Fort Washington, Maryland, at 6 a.m. on Nov. 12. The store features Giant’s new and improved format with enhanced and expanded departments and amenities.
These include a large produce and organic section with locally grown and sourced fresh fruits and vegetables, and expanded prepared food offerings to a gourmet cheese section, freshly made sushi and full-service deli, seafood and meat departments.
Outside of traditional grocery offerings, the new store also will host a full-service floral department, free Wi-Fi and a Starbucks.
“We have recognized the need for a new top of the line grocery store for the residents of Fort Washington, a neighborhood we have served for nearly 45 years, and have been looking forward to opening this remodeled location to better serve the community,” said Ira Kress, president of Giant Food. “We’re confident this new store delivers on the convenience, quality, value and finest customer experience that the community deserves and look forward to serving the neighborhood’s residents for all of their grocery needs.”
In addition, the new store includes a full-service in-store Giant Pharmacy offering a range of services such as vaccines administered by its certified pharmacists, including COVID-19 vaccines and booster doses as well as seasonal flu shots. Also available are free consultations including recommendations and assistance with selecting appropriate over-the-counter and prescription products.
For added convenience, customers also have the option to place Giant Pickup or Giant Delivers orders on giantfood.com or the Giant Food mobile app and choose to either pick up their groceries at the new location or have them delivered right to their doors.
Customers at the Fort Washington store also have access to Giant’s team of licensed in-store nutritionists for free online and phone consultations as well as online nutrition classes and webinars. To sign up for a class or contact Giant’s nutritionists, visit giantfood.com/nutrition.
Giant has hired more than 180 associates to work at the Fort Washington store, which serves as a replacement for Giant’s previous store at the same location.
