Ribbon-Cutting Friday For New Giant Food Store In Jenkintown

JENKINTOWN, PA —A ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place Friday morning to christen the opening of the new Jenkintown Giant Food Store.

The ceremony will be held —along with some brief remarks by local and Giant officials —at 7:40 a.m. before the store at 93 York Rd. opens at 8 a.m. for customers on Friday.

The new 50,000 square foot store will operate from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week, and employ more than 100 full- and part-time team members.

As part of The GIANT Company’s commitment to making a difference in the local communities it serves, the Jenkintown store is celebrating its opening by donating a total of $10,000 to six community organizations that are making a difference and building healthier communities.

Dave Flanigan, a 32-year grocery veteran, has been appointed to serve as store manager.

As part of the celebration, the first 200 customers will receive a Giant reusable shopping bag filled with product samples and other grand opening savings.

Jenkintown customers will find Giant's fresh departments, including a large, market-feel produce department with dedicated space for organics, meat, and seafood, service deli with pre-sliced meats and cheeses, dairy, a bakery, full-service floral, a separate healthy, natural, and organic section, including both fresh and frozen products, and a large beer and wine area featuring an assortment of wine slushies and ready-to-drink cocktails.

The new store also offers a large Kosher product selection, including fresh meat, dairy, and frozen products. For today’s busy families, the Jenkintown store features a hot food bar that includes smoked and barbeque meats, pre-pack salad offerings in the deli, specialty cheese cases, an in-store sushi chef, and a full-service Starbucks coffee kiosk.

The Jenkintown store will also offer Giant Direct.
