Giant Food Stores

Love this store! We go for the great selection and service, beers, olive bar and fresh produce and meat. I think the only downside is whenever I go, the only 2 – 3 lanes open are long, and it’s 20 – 30 min away depending on traffic.

Terrible attitude from the indian guy working the beer garden.
I asked him twice if I may drink my beer at the beer garden and eatery (while I waited on my girlfriend)…he says in a dismissive manner ‘yes, yes. Go.’ Shortly after, I catch him staring at me and he does so for about a minute and then proceeds to angrily tell me I am not allowed to be drinking a beer in the beer garden. I reply with a ‘you told me I could.’ His attitude only got worse and he demanded I buy something to eat so that it would absorb my alcohol. my one single and only beer I purchased to have. What a joke. Im a grown man.

Great store! One of our favorite things to do when we travel is check out grocery stores. We were here several times and for several hours!

This supermarket offers the widest food selection in the greater Gettysburg area, but resides on a huge footprint and it is not practical to access the store by foot from Gettysburg.
The positives: This Giant easily has the widest and best food selection around. There’s an «organic» section with a lot of brands that I prefer to the «standard» section. The entire facility is clean and easy to navigate, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
The negatives: The complex containing the store is roughly the size of a typical city block in Gettysburg, and the parking lot takes up even more area.
Conclusion: Sadly, the great selection and convenience (for those with cars) of this store is significantly negated by Giant’s (or the associated developer’s) decision to pave over enormous amounts of land next to an area of national historic and cultural significance. The total footprint of the store and parking lot combined takes up the equivalent of approximately two blocks of nearby Gettysburg. There’s no practical way to walk to this store from the borough and return with groceries. Giant could have conserved precious land and could have reduced light pollution by building a multistory complex combining retail space and parking. Even better, Giant could have built their store in Gettysburg, instead of contributing to the sprawl on York Road.

It’s weird to write a review of a big box grocery store, but this is important, so deal with it. Vegans, lend me your ears! When I moved to Gettysburg a year ago, Giant had no organic section or «natural foods» section, but they fixed that up real good because they totally have one now. This grocery story is the ONLY place in Gettysburg that you can get daiya. And more than one kind of daiya! This is kind of a big deal. There’s an entire section at this grocery store full of stuff you could normally only find, in an urban area, at like a Whole Food or Trader Joe’s maybe. Organic almond butter? Check. Bob’s Red Mill Arrowroot flour? Check. Daiya, organic produce (but it’s a small-​ish selection), tons of organic chocolates, organic bread, soy/​coconut/​hemp/​oat/​almond milks, organic tea, the list goes on and on. I mean … if you’re in just in town or if you live here and you’re a vegan, this is need-​to-​know info. Bön appetit!

Remodeling is finished! New version includes a Beer garden near the deli with tables to consume some of your purchases. Sale of beer 6 and 12-​packs in a grocery store is something new in PA. Has a selection of microbrews which can be tried via mix and match 6-​pack purchase.
This is the largest super market in Gettysburg and includes special sections for organic and Mexican items. It is open 24 hours except a few major holidays. Bags of ice are available as well as a pharmacy.

This store has been hard to shop since the construction started. It use to be you couldn’t find what you were looking for. Now when you find it there are so many stocking carts in the aisle that you can’t get to it. The major stocking should be done at night and not during shopping hours. If there was another major supermarket nearby, I’d be doing my shopping there.
