Giant Food (the Landover Maryland banner, distinct from the Carlisle Pennsylvania Giant/Martin’s banner with a similar name and from Giant Eagle the Pittsburgh-based separate company) is a Mid-Atlantic grocery chain with about 165 stores across DC, Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware, owned by Ahold Delhaize (Dutch-Belgian conglomerate that also operates Stop & Shop, Food Lion, and Hannaford in the US), headquartered in Landover Maryland, and founded in 1936 in Washington DC by N.M. Cohen and Samuel Lehrman.

The questions readers actually ask: what time does Giant Food open today, when does the store close, are they open Sunday or Saturday, are they open on Christmas and Thanksgiving, how the Giant Flexible Rewards loyalty program works, and where the nearest Giant Food is located.

Two Giant Food specific things worth knowing: most stores run 6:00 AM to midnight (12:00 AM) seven days a week (Sunday matches weekday hours; one of the longer daily-hours grocery operations in the Mid-Atlantic), Christmas Day is closed chain-wide, Thanksgiving runs reduced 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM hours, and Easter Sunday runs reduced 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM hours. The Giant Flexible Rewards program (free loyalty card) replaces the older Bonus Card system at Giant Food and includes Giant Choice Rewards points (redeemable for grocery savings or gas discounts at participating Shell stations) plus weekly personalized digital coupons through the Giant Food mobile app and giantfood.com.

Is Giant Food the same as Giant in Pennsylvania or Giant Eagle?

No, all three are different chains. Giant Food (this page) is the Landover Maryland banner under Ahold Delhaize, with about 165 stores in DC, Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware. Giant Food Stores (also called Giant or Martin's) is a separate Ahold Delhaize banner headquartered in Carlisle Pennsylvania, with about 190 stores in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia (operated independently from Giant Food of Landover despite the similar name and same Ahold Delhaize parent). Giant Eagle is a completely separate company headquartered in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, not affiliated with Ahold Delhaize. The three chains have overlapping Mid-Atlantic geography but operate as independent grocery brands.

How does Giant Flexible Rewards work?

Giant Flexible Rewards is the free Giant Food customer loyalty program (replaces the older Bonus Card system). Members access exclusive sale prices through digital coupons, weekly personalized offers, Giant Choice Rewards points (redeemable for grocery savings or gas discounts at participating Shell stations), and Save on Pet membership savings on pet products. Sign-up is free at any Giant Food store or at giantfood.com. The same Giant Flexible Rewards account works at every Giant Food store; the program is separate from the Giant Food Stores PA banner's loyalty program despite the similar name.

How does Giant Pickup work?

Giant Pickup is the chain's online ordering service for curbside pickup. Customers shop the full store inventory through giantfood.com or the Giant Food mobile app, schedule a pickup window (typically same-day or next-day), drive to the designated curbside spot at the store, and a Giant Food employee loads groceries into the trunk. Pickup is free for orders over a minimum threshold (typically $30); smaller orders incur a fee. Giant Delivers (home delivery through Instacart partnership) is also available at most stores. Giant Pickup hours typically end one to two hours before the main store close.
