Giant to open store in Jenkintown, Pa.
Giant is set to open a new store in Jenkintown, Pa., continuing its strategic growth in the greater Philadelphia area. The new, ground-up, approximately 50,000-square-foot store will be built at the corner of Old York Road and Wyncote Road as part of a proposed redevelopment project. This will be the first store in Jenkintown for the company.
