Giant Celebrates Grand Opening of Odenton Store: Photos

At the grand opening event, the grocery chain donated $5K to the Gambrills Odenton Recreation Council.

The doors of Odenton’s new Giant Food store -- located in the totally renovated former site of Super Fresh – opened at 6 a.m. today, Dec. 11.

The Odenton Giant includes a variety of updated features and amenities throughout the store, such as a new, market-style produce section with an expanded selection of organic produce. Inside the 63,000-square foot store customers will find a full-service deli with premium meats and gourmet cheeses, as well as complete meat and seafood departments with fresh seafood and meat selections from an in-store butcher.

The chain says the Odenton location has a “Bakery of the Future,” offering fresh baked goods including a variety of artisan breads and muffins, a bagel bin, and bread bar. A prepared foods section includes fresh sushi, a fresh pizza station, prepared hot food options, and a fresh fruit and salad bar.
