JENKINTOWN, PA —The new Giant Food Store will open in the borough on April 4.
The Giant Company this week announced the opening date for its new location at 93 York Road.
Doors will open at the new 50,000-square-foot store at 8 p.m. on April 4. The store will operate from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week, the company said.
More than 100 full- and part-time jobs are being created with the opening, the company said.
“While we have had a presence in Montgomery County for decades, this marks the first GIANT in Jenkintown,” said John Ruane, president of the Giant Company. “Customers can expect the freshness, value, and quality that GIANT is known for, combined with brand new offerings, increased product variety, and plenty of fresh ideas no matter what type of meal or celebration they are shopping for.”
Dave Flanigan, a 32-year grocery veteran, has been appointed to serve as store manager.

Team members and community leaders will gather for a ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 4.
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.
“No matter how customers choose to shop with us, the entire store team is excited to bring the Giant shopping experience to the Jenkintown community,” Flanigan said. “We have a lot of variety throughout the store to serve the grocery needs of our neighbors, including a strong focus on natural and organics, Kosher products, and plenty of grab-and-go options.”
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.
