Looks to be some more moves going on by corporate...more fruit slice-logoed stuff showing up at Giant-PA, and now the layout of the circulars at Giant-MD and Giant-PA are very similar to each other.
Re: Giant Food in Philadelphia Area
Well, in a few short weeks, Giant [PA] will be opening it's first store in Philadelphia itself, at Grant Avenue, east of Roosevelt Boulevard.

Re: Giant Food in Philadelphia Area
Any predictions whether Giant-Carlisle (PA) will further incorporate the fruit slice logo into their stores (bags, store signage)?
Re: Giant Food in Philadelphia Area
They haven't yet, but Giant-Carlisle (PA) is closing it's Warrington, Pa location, itself a former Genuardi's store. It will close on 11/02/2013.catnapped wrote:Any predictions whether Giant-Carlisle (PA) will further incorporate the fruit slice logo into their stores (bags, store signage)?
Re: Giant Food in Philadelphia Area
Giant only bought the above location because Safeway would only give up the Feasterville store if Giant took over the lease on the Warrington store. It was just kind of there for the 'hell of it'. It never made a profit in the 2 years Giant occupied it, and I doubt it ever saw much profit as a Genuardi's either. Giant spent very little remodeling this store..just about everything was leftover from Genuardi's or hand-me-downs from other Giant stores, including mismatched shopping carts. The location is pretty awful and it opened right after Safeway acquired Genuardi's (and ruined them). Athough it does face into a semi-busy shopping center, Wegmans came along in 2006 and pretty much sealed the fate.
There really hasn't been any activity since Giant closed....most of the equipment appears to still be sitting inside. I don't know if they are trying to sell it as a package deal to someone else (Weis?) or what. Rumors were flying about that Giant was going to use it as a distribution point for Peapod, or it was going to be demolished for offices, but who knows.
