Giant Supermarket - Hyattsville/Chillum, Md. - Queen Elizabeth II's 1957 Visit

Post by Jason B. »

Queen Elizabeth II visited a Giant supermarket in Hyattsville/Chillum, Maryland in 1957. That store is said to have been among the first "modern" supermarkets in the Washington, D.C. area. Here is a newspaper article about the royal supermarket visit:
