Today, Giant Food opened a Giant Delivers ecommerce fulfillment center in Manassas, Virginia. The 82,000-square-foot facility will introduce home and business delivery to thousands of northern Virginia customers.
The addition of the facility also enhances service to existing customers in the area while extending same-day delivery and free midweek delivery opportunities.
"This investment in our newest facility helps us reach even more people with even more convenience," said Gregg Dorazio, director of ecommerce at Giant Food, in a statement. "By shopping and delivering your orders for no fee between Tuesday-Thursday, and for just $3.95 on weekends, we're truly living up to our promise to be a one-stop shop, giving customers affordable options to shop so they can get back to the moments that matter the most."
Giant is the first grocer in Virginia to provide beer and wine delivery to residents, and customers can order from local and national producers, including locally-based Port City and Solace Brewing.
"We're proud to continue growing as a local employer focused on making positive impacts for both our customers and the entire Giant family, and with the opening of our Manassas ecommerce fulfillment center, we're thrilled to be creating 200 new jobs for the community,” said Joe Urban, VP of supply chain operations at Giant Food, in a statement.
The Manassas facility will feature batch-picking software and a conveyor system that will enable improved delivery options. This is the second ecommerce fulfillment center for the company, joining the location in Hanover, Maryland.
