Introduction
Wikipedia features a comprehensive and well-attributed overview of The Giant Company: The Giant Company (formerly known as Giant Food Stores) is an American regional supermarket chain that operates in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia under the Giant and Martin’s brands. It is a subsidiary of Ahold Delhaize, and headquartered in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
Now comes word that a major Pennsylvania location will soon permanently close, a largely unexpected development that is being called “a business decision.”
