Giant Food's new e-commerce fulfillment center in Manassas, Virginia, now open

Giant Food opened its second e-commerce fulfillment center in Manassas, Virginia, on Tuesday making it the first grocery retailer in the state to provide beer and wine deliveries to its shoppers.

The 82,000-square-foot facility in Manassas brings 200 new jobs to the area and increases delivery to thousands of new shoppers with expanded same-day delivery in less than three hours and free midweek delivery. Giant Food’s other e-commerce facility is in Hanover, Maryland.

“We are continually looking for ways to better serve our communities and our customers,” said Gregg Dorazio, director of e-commerce at Giant Food, in a statement. “This investment in our newest facility helps us reach even more people with even more convenience.”

Dorazio added: “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.”

The Manassas facility includes the Ahold Delhaize USA banner’s latest batch-picking software. It also includes a conveyor system that increases shopping speed.

“Giant is a leader in home delivery, and over the years we've continued to expand our services and footprint throughout the region,” said Joe Urban, VP of supply chain operations at Giant Food. “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 e-commerce fulfillment center, we're thrilled to be creating 200 new jobs for the community."

Looking to offer a wider selection of local options, Giant Food will feature a local assortment at the new facility, including Virginia-based companies such as the Perfect Pita and Don’t Forget Cake.

Giant Delivers requires no subscription and offers no delivery fees on midweek orders between Tuesday-Thursday. Orders for delivery between Friday-Monday include a $3.95 delivery fee and minimum order requirements on all delivery orders are $30.
