Giant opens new e-commerce fulfillment center in Virginia

Giant Food, a Washington D.C. regional grocery chain, has announced the opening of a new Giant Delivers e-commerce fulfillment center in Manassas, Va. The new 82,000 square foot facility will make home and business delivery possible for thousands of new customers in over 140 zip codes across northern Virginia. Enhancing service to existing customers throughout the area, the new facility also will offer expanded convenience including same-day delivery in as little as three hours and free midweek delivery.

"We are continually looking for ways to better serve our communities and our customers. This investment in our newest facility helps us reach even more people with even more convenience," said Gregg Dorazio, Director of E-Commerce at Giant Food. 

Housing a local assortment, customers can shop items from a wide range of Virginia companies including The Perfect Pita and Don't Forget Cake. Giant also provides beer and wine delivery to residents, and customers can order from a wide range of producers, including locally based Port City and Solace Brewing.

The Manassas facility will feature the company's latest batch-picking software and an extensive conveyor system that will increase the speed of shop to enable faster, more frequent delivery options. This is the second e-commerce fulfillment center for the company. Its existing Hanover, Md., facility will continue servicing Giant Delivers customers across its local markets.

Customers can place a Giant Delivers order on giantfood.com or while on-the-go through the Giant Food mobile app and items are hand-picked and packed by Giant associates and delivered directly to customers' doorsteps with Giant's fleet of vans and full-time drivers.
