Giant Food Opens New E-Commerce Fulfillment Center in Manassas, Virginia

Expands Service to 140+ New Zip Codes; Adds Beer and Wine for Local Deliveries

LANDOVER, Md., May 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Giant Food, the leading Washington D.C. regional grocery chain, announces today the opening of a new Giant Delivers e-commerce fulfillment center in Manassas, Va. The new 82,000 square foot facility will make home and business delivery possible for thousands of new customers in over 140 zip codes across northern Virginia. Enhancing service to existing customers throughout the area, the new facility will also offer expanded convenience including same-day delivery in as little as three hours and free midweek delivery.

"We are continually looking for ways to better serve our communities and our customers. This investment in our newest facility helps us reach even more people with even more convenience," said Gregg Dorazio, Director of E-Commerce at Giant Food. "By shopping and delivering your orders for no fee between Tuesday-Thursday, and for just $3.95 on weekends, we're truly living up to our promise to be a one-stop shop, giving customers affordable options to shop so they can get back to the moments that matter the most."

Housing an extensive local assortment, customers can enjoy items from a wide range of Virginia companies including The Perfect Pita and Don't Forget Cake. Giant is also the first grocer in Virginia to provide beer and wine delivery to residents, and customers can order from a wide range of producers, including locally-based Port City and Solace Brewing.

The Manassas facility will feature the company's latest batch-picking software and an extensive conveyor system that will increase the speed of shop to enable faster, more frequent delivery options. This is the second e-commerce fulfillment center for the company. Its existing Hanover, Md. facility will continue servicing Giant Delivers customers across its local markets.

"Giant is a leader in home delivery, and over the years we've continued to expand our services and footprint throughout the region," said Joe Urban Vice President Supply Chain Operations at Giant Food. "We're proud to continue growing as a local employer focused on making positive impacts for both our customers and the entire Giant family, and with the opening of our Manassas e-commerce fulfillment center, we're thrilled to be creating 200 new jobs for the community."
