“Ecommerce demand continues to escalate as more customers discover the time-saving benefits of online shopping at Giant,” Gregg Dorazio, director of ecommerce for Giant Food said. “Free pickup on all orders makes this personalized service even more accessible. What could be more convenient than letting our trained associates do the shopping for you? We guarantee 100% satisfaction. Our customers can count on us to select the freshest foods.”

This move builds upon the brand’s continued investments in its omnichannel strategies, which included ensuring value across its in-store and online offering, such as pickup and delivery.

In 2021, the retailer eliminated minimum order requirements for all Giant Pickup orders, minimum order requirements for Giant Delivers were halved, delivery fees also were eliminated for midweek orders and reduced for Friday to Monday dates, the company said.
