West Chester's Giant Supermarket To Undergo Major Expansion

WEST CHESTER, PA -- West Chester's Giant will undergo a major renovation and expansion as part of a $70 million investment by the company in the region.

The expansion will include the addition of six new stores in southeastern Pennsylvania, as well as major remodels at two others and gas station additions at three more.

"Customers will be able to take advantage of key benefits which include a broader variety and assortment that is relevant to customers in each store, such as more local products, a deeper assortment of natural and organic selections and healthier snack options," officials said in a statement. "Each remodel will bring a freshly designed layout that is easier to navigate and shop so customers can get in and out of the store quickly."

West Chester Giant's remodel will be done later this year, officials said.

Giant says the projects will bring around 300 new jobs to the region.

As part of its investment in the area, Giant is also donating $800,000 to the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank and $216,000 to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Lehigh Valley.

West Chester's Giant is located on 698 Downingtown Pike.
