This Giant grocery store, at 5730 Edsall Road, will be closing.
Residents who live near the Plaza at Landmark shopping center at 6200 Little River Turnpike will be happy to hear they're getting a new $20 million Giant grocery store.
The store is currently under construction in the location formerly occupied by Shoppers Food Warehouse, which closed June 18. The store is set for an early 2019 opening.
When the new store opens, the Giant grocery store at 5730 Edsall Road at the Van Dorn Station shopping center (pictured above) will close.
The new Giant on Little River Turnpike (pictured under construction at bottom) will be about 56,000 square feet, more than 10,000 square feet larger than the old Giant store.
Look for similar store amenities such as a full-service florist, sushi bar, expanded natural and organic department, cheese shop, enhanced beer and wine selection, prepared food bar, full-service meat, seafood and deli departments, and more.
The new store will be located next to an LA Fitness and a furniture store. A Marshall's store, Ross and Total Wine are also in the shopping center.
Giant recently announced plans to replace another Shoppers Food Warehouse location with a new Giant store in Olney, Md.
Headquartered in Landover, Md., Giant operates 166 supermarkets in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and the District of Columbia, and employs approximately 20,000 associates. Included within the 166 stores are 156 full-service pharmacies. For more information on Giant, visit www.giantfood.com.
