  • Since 2016, Giant has completed grand openings at four locations throughout the city of Philadelphia, with another five slated to open in 2021-2022. A total of 24 new grocery stores have opened, or plan to open, in Philadelphia since 2016. Giant is responsible for 9 of these, or 38% of the new grocery supply. 
• Expanding Consumer Base
