Giant's newly acquired store to feature marketplace-style produce section
Giant Food Stores has entered into an agreement with C&S Wholesale Grocers Inc. to acquire a Nell’s Shurfine Market located in Carlisle, PA. The acquisition, expected to be completed by the beginning of March, will mark the second Giant location in Carlisle.
While plans are still being finalized, the converted store will feature Giant’s newest marketplace-style produce section, the latest bakery department and offering, updated and expanded prepared foods and deli department, and an expanded natural and organic department.
The 51,800-square-foot store is planned to close temporarily Feb. 28 for conversion and reopen as a Giant Food Store in late March. The pharmacy will remain open during the conversion. Nell’s associates will have the opportunity to apply for positions at the new Giant.
“Giant has been proud to call the Carlisle community home for more than 90 years,” Tom Lenkevich, president, said in a press release. “We are always looking for ways to grow our business and provide convenient locations to help our customers save money, save time and eat well.”
Founded in 1923, Giant Food Stores began as a meat market in downtown Carlisle, and today has grown to 196 stores in four states.
