CARLISLE, Pa. — GIANT Food Stores plans to hold grand openings ceremonies next month for three former Musser’s Markets stores in central Pennsylvania. The stores, which GIANT agreed to acquire in August, are located in Lebanon, Quarryville and Columbia, Penn.

The Lebanon store, located at 1750 Quentin Road, will open on Friday, November 1 at 8 a.m. The stores at 3985 Columbia Ave., Columbia, and 35 Friendly Drive, Quarryville will open one week later on Friday, November 8 at 8 a.m.

“We look forward to opening the doors to our three newest stores, which will be updated with plenty of GIANT’S fresh ideas and amenities, while also keeping customer favorites like Musser’s bakery cookies, assorted pork sausages and signature chicken salad,” said GIANT president Nicholas Bertram. “We know how important these stores are to their local communities and it’s our privilege to be able to serve our new neighbors. We can’t wait to get to know our new customers across Lancaster and Lebanon County and we look forward to welcoming them to GIANT.”

Each store will offer expanded hours of operation from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week. GIANT will employ more than 300 full and part time associates across the three stores, including approximately 220 from Musser’s Markets. Each of the three stores will feature GIANT’S signature fresh departments, coupled with expanded product variety and new offerings.

Kim O’Hara, a 16-year grocery veteran, has been appointed store manager of the new Lebanon GIANT. Erin Arnold, a 15-year grocery veteran, is store manager of the new Columbia GIANT, and Nicole McMillan, with 20 years in the grocery industry, will be the Quarryville GIANT store manager.
