Jenkintown’s new 50,000 sf GIANT grocery store at 93 York Road held a ribbon-cutting celebration at 8:00am on Friday, April 4.

Going forward, the store will operate from 6:00am to 10:00pm seven days a week and employ more than 100 full- and part-time employees. According to the company, the store is donating $10,000 to six community organizations:

• Jenkintown Police Department
• Jenkintown Fire Department
• Second Alarmers Rescue Squad
• The School District of Jenkintown
• Jenkintown Food Cupboard
• Rotary Club of Jenkintown

Initially anticipated to open by Thanksgiving 2024, plans for the store date back to May 2023.

The grocery outlet will offer GIANT Direct, a produce department with dedicated space for organics, meat and seafood, service deli with pre-sliced meats and cheeses, dairy, 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.
