Philadelphia expansion highlighted by two-level flagship store opening in March
The Giant Company is expanding its presence in Philadelphia with a pair of new Giant supermarkets including its first two-level location as well as in central Pennsylvania with a new Giant store in Benner Township.
After ground was broken in August 2019, a 65,000-square-foot Giant store is set to open March 19 at the corner of 23rd and Arch Streets in downtown Philadelphia as part of the Riverwalk project. An 8.5-acre, mixed-use development along the Schuykill River, Riverwalk includes two luxury residential towers plus commercial, retail, hospitality and community space. Giant’s store is situated on the second floor of the 26-story Tower 1 at 60 North 23rd St.
Giant Food Stores on Friday confirmed the company plans to build a new supermarket on Benner Pike near Bellefonte.
The 50,000-square-foot store will be located in a new shopping center planned for a 15-acre tract along Benner Pike and Paradise Road in Benner Township.
According to a news release, construction is scheduled to begin in 2022, pending township approvals, with opening expected in 2023.
It will be the third Giant store in Centre County. The location at 2121 S. Atherton St. in College Township opened in June 2019 after relocating from the Nittany Commons Shopping Center. The Giant in Northland Center along North Atherton Street in Ferguson Township opened in 1989.
The Giant Co. announced another investment in the city of Philadelphia as it prepares to begin construction on its newest store, located at 2201 Cottman Avenue at the corner of Bustleton Avenue.
