About GIANT

Welcome to GIANT – Reading’s Neighborhood Grocery, Beer, and Wine Destination

Nestled in the heart of Reading, PA, GIANT brings a fresh approach to your everyday shopping. More than just a grocery store, GIANT seamlessly combines a full-service beer and wine shop with deli counters, bakery treats, and an array of household essentials. Whether you’re stocking up for the week, selecting the perfect bottle of wine, or grabbing a cold one to enjoy at home, GIANT has you covered with convenience, quality, and friendly service.


A Store That Feels Like Home

From the moment you step through our doors, you’ll notice GIANT’s bright, organized layout designed to make every trip efficient and enjoyable. Many customers rave about the well-kept aisles, praising how “a clean, organized store—that’s the GIANT!” helps them find everything they need in record time. At the same time, our team takes note of every opportunity to raise the bar, tackling areas like the self-checkout zones to ensure they’re as spotless and user-friendly as the rest of the store.


Friendly Faces, Professional Service

At GIANT Reading, our associates are the backbone of your shopping experience. You may arrive curious about our produce but leave impressed by the warm professionalism of our staff. Whether you’re greeted by Alyssa—our ever-cheerful bakery clerk-turned-cashier—or helped in the seafood department by Sean, whose knowledge and care turn every shrimp selection into a moment worth remembering, you’ll feel genuinely valued here. Even our online pickup program shines thanks to Jess Hostetter, whom customers praise for bringing orders out to their cars with a level of kindness that turns a simple transaction into a standout service moment.

Of course, we recognize there are times when one of us falls short. Should you ever encounter anything less than our best—like an unprofessional interaction or an employee who misses the mark—we want to hear about it. Every comment helps GIANT elevate the customer experience and ensure that professionalism shines through at every counter.


Fresh Produce & Deli Delights

GIANT’s produce and deli departments offer something for every palate. Many shoppers delight in racks of vibrant, unblemished fruits and vegetables paired with freshly sliced meats and cheeses. You’ll find hand-selected specialty olives, deli meats cut to order, and cheeses that pair beautifully with our extensive wine selection. We know that quality matters—and when an item doesn’t meet your expectations, our team works swiftly to refresh our offerings so that next time, you leave with only the best.


Fully Stocked Aisles—Almost Every Time

There’s nothing more frustrating than searching for an item only to find empty shelves. At GIANT Reading, we pride ourselves on keeping aisles stocked with your everyday staples and seasonal favorites alike. Whether you need that exact pasta brand your family loves or the latest craft beer release, our goal is to have it ready for you. While occasional high demand can lead to a quick sellout, our team stays on top of restocking so you’re never left guessing whether we’ll carry your must-haves on your next visit.


Quick Checkouts & Self-Serve Options

GIANT offers a range of checkout solutions to suit your schedule. If you’re in a rush, our dedicated staffed registers aim to keep lines moving swiftly—customers frequently note how “wait-time at check-out isn’t usually too bad” when lanes are well-staffed. For the tech-savvy shopper, our self-checkout kiosks provide an even faster option. We continue to refine these stations, addressing concerns about cleanliness or functionality so you can breeze through the line and be on your way.


Unbeatable Value with Discounts & Rewards

At GIANT, we believe in rewarding loyalty. Clip your digital coupons, use our gas-reward offers, and watch your savings add up—many shoppers appreciate earning points for gas almost as much as they love the savings on everyday groceries. While some customers feel prices on certain items can be a bit steep, most agree that the combination of coupons, in-store promotions, and the quality you receive makes GIANT an exceptional value for fresh produce, quality meats, beer, and wine.
