Bigger Doylestown GIANT Store To Open In 2021

DOYLESTOWN, PA — A bigger GIANT supermarket store is slated to open in the Cross Keys Place shopping plaza later this year, the company announced Monday.

The new, 72,500 square foot store will be located at 4377 West Swamp Road, once occupied by Kmart, and will replace the current GIANT store at 4357 West Swamp Road. Staff will be transferred to the new store, the company said, which will include "a focus on meal solutions" along with expanded hot foods and ready to eat offerings, including an updated Beer & Wine Eatery and an in-store Starbucks kiosk, the company said in a news release.

“This latest project is part of our continuing investment in our store base to enhance the shopping experience for our customers and best meet their grocery needs,” GIANT President Nicholas Bertram said. “Today’s customers are looking for quick, easy and affordable meal solutions, allowing families to spend more time together around the table. Our new Doylestown store will feature amenities and offerings to bring convenience front and center for our customers.”

Headquartered in Carlisle, The GIANT company has 168 stores in the United States, including roughly 3,500 employees across 19 stores in Bucks County.

Meanwhile, a Marshalls & HomeGoods and Five Below store are also coming to the Plumstead shopping center, The Intelligencer reported Monday. They will be relocating from Doylestown Township's Barn Plaza to the 56,000 square foot space that houses the current GIANT store. Five Below plans to open in October, while it may take until 2023 for the Marshall's to move in.

The shopping plaza is located in Plumstead Township and any project would need approval from the zoning board. Phil Neas, building inspector for the township, said they have not yet been presented with plans for the site.
