Giant Planning New Grocery Store In Northeast Philly Area

PHILADELPHIA — The Northeast Philadelphia area will be getting a new option for grocery shopping later this year, as Giant is planning to open a new store in the area.

The grocer announced recently that it is planning to open a store at 2201 Cottman Avenue at the corner of Bustleton Avenue in Northeast Philadelphia.

Construction on the new 67,000 square foot Giant is scheduled to begin in late March with an anticipated opening date later this year.

The new store will feature Giant's fresh departments, in addition to a Beer & Wine Eatery, expanded plant-based offerings, made-to-order meal solutions and Giant Direct grocery pickup.

More details about the store will be shared at a later date.

About 200 people will be hired for the new Cottman Avenue store.
