Giant Food LLC of Landover

Giant Food LLC, based in Landover, Maryland, operates as a prominent regional supermarket chain serving the Mid-Atlantic. The company traces its roots back to 1936, when it opened its first store in Washington, DC. Over the decades, Giant Food has steadily grown its presence, now running 167 stores as of November 2025, with the largest concentration in Maryland and additional locations throughout Virginia, Delaware, and the District of Columbia.

A significant turning point in the company’s history came in 1998, when Giant Food became part of Ahold, now known as Ahold Delhaize. This partnership gave Giant Food access to greater resources and expertise, supporting the modernization of its stores and the introduction of new services such as in-store pharmacies, fuel stations, and online grocery shopping.

In recent years, Giant Food has focused on enhancing its stores through ongoing remodels and upgrades, while also expanding its digital grocery and delivery capabilities. The company continues to open new stores selectively, concentrating on high-density, high-growth markets within its established Mid-Atlantic footprint. This approach has allowed Giant Food to adapt to changing consumer preferences and maintain its role as a leading regional grocer.

Giant Food’s stores are designed to serve a wide range of communities, from urban neighborhoods to suburban areas, offering flexible formats that can anchor shopping centers and mixed-use developments. The company is a major employer in the region, with many locations represented by unions, and is recognized for its established brand and steady customer traffic. As a subsidiary of Ahold Delhaize, Giant Food benefits from strong purchasing power, efficient supply chains, and access to advanced retail technologies, reinforcing its credibility and stability as a tenant. Over the past five years, Giant Food’s ongoing investment in store improvements and omnichannel services has further solidified its position in the competitive grocery landscape.
