Giant store in Shrewsbury slated to be remodeled, company officials say

The Shrewsbury Giant will get a face lift over the next two years, Giant officials said.

“This year, Giant is celebrating our founding in Pennsylvania 95 years ago, so we’re especially proud to make these new investments in our home state,” Nicholas Bertram, Giant president, said in a statement.

The announcement is part of a $70 million capital investment by the company, with four new stores opening in the state in the next two years. The new stores will be located in Feasterville-Trevose, State College, Warrington (Bucks County), and Broomall, officials said.

Two stores in Shrewsbury Borough and West Chester will get major remodels, and three stores in Lititz, Horsham and Bethlehem will get new fuel stations.

In Shrewsbury, Giant plans to expand the store into the adjacent 4,000 square feet of tenant space, and incorporate it into the existing store. Other areas of the store that will be remodeled will be announced at a different date.

The store opened in Shrewsbury in 2003, and the remodel is expected to bring a broader variety to the store, including more local products and a deeper assortment of natural and organic selections, said Chris Brand, Giant's director of external communications.

The Shrewsbury Giant is currently 54,000 total square feet before the additions and does not sell beer and wine, but it is allowed to sell it after a May 2017 decision to make Shrewsbury a wet municipality. The new expansion is expected to open this fall.
