With 65,000 square feet, Giant's newest
location offers top-of-the-line amenities, on-site pharmacy and
Ledo Pizza Corner Shoppe
LANDOVER, Md., Jan. 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Giant Food, the leading greater
Washington, D.C. regional grocery
chain, announces the grand opening of a new Maryland store located at 5320 Zenith Overlook
in Bethesda. Doors officially open
at 6 a.m. on Friday, January
26th.
The opening brings a new pharmacy to the Bethesda community along with amenities,
including full-service meat and seafood departments, an expanded
gourmet cheese selection, expansive prepared food offerings,
freshly made sushi and a Starbucks.
"We're thrilled to introduce a new store to the Bethesda community, including our newest
pharmacy, offering ample space, expansive departments, great value
and plenty of services and conveniences to delight our customers,"
said Ira Kress, President of Giant
Food.
The full-service Giant Food Pharmacy offers a variety of
services such as vaccine administrations by Giant's certified
pharmacists, as well as free consultations, including
recommendations and assistance with selecting appropriate
over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription (Rx) products. Giant also
recently expanded its Flexible Rewards® loyalty program
so members can earn points through eligible pharmacy transactions,
including prescriptions and immunizations.
Ledo Pizza Corner
Shoppe
Giant is also proud to expand its partnership with local
favorite and square pizza enthusiasts, Ledo Pizza. In the Giant
Food Deli section, customers will find the same pastry-thin, square
crust and sweet tomato sauce that they've loved from Ledo Pizza
since its first pizzeria opened in Adelphi, Maryland, during the 1950s. Customers
can enjoy fresh handmade dough with high-quality toppings by
purchasing a Take and Bake Ledo Pizza to warm up at home or
ordering one fresh and hot from the oven. This marks the
13th Ledo Pizza Corner
Shoppe location for Giant Food.
With a commitment to spotlighting local food favorites, Giant
has also partnered with Ben's Chili Bowl, another iconic D.C.
restaurant, bringing an array of beloved comfort foods to its
one-stop-shopping experience.
"Food is a reflection of the communities in which we live.
Unique restaurants like Ledo Pizza and Ben's Chili Bowl are
special, integral fixtures that truly provide a taste of home,"
continues Kress. "Featuring them in our stores is something very
special for Giant and our customers."
"We're excited to celebrate the 13th Ledo Pizza Corner Shoppe location in the
beautiful new Giant Food store in Bethesda," says Jamie
Beall, CEO of Ledo Pizza. "Our customers have loved having a
convenient way to pick up our iconic square pizzas on the go, and
partnering with another iconic local brand like Giant Food has been
the perfect way to expand our Ledo Pizza family."
This new store replaces the Giant Food store located at 5400
Westbard Ave. in Bethesda. All
staff members were offered the opportunity to transfer to the
nearby store and loyal customers will not experience an
interruption in service as the new store will open the following
morning after the Westbard Ave location closes.
