Video: Giant Unveils Fresh Look

         New Logo Marks Start of Journey for Region's Trusted Brand



    LANDOVER, Md., Aug. 21 /EMWNews/ -- Following extensive customer

research, Giant has redesigned its logo and will roll out a fresh look and

new store offerings chain-wide over the next 24-36 months. Customers who

frequent the Georgetown Square Giant in Bethesda, Md., will be the first to

see the new logo, which will appear on the storefront Friday, August 22.

    "The new logo represents a fresh look for Giant," said Robin Michel,

executive vice president and general manager of Giant/Landover. "The

livelier, brighter colors represent a change, but the things that customers

have come to know and love about Giant will always remain the same. We're

proud of our heritage and our deep community roots and will continue doing

what we've been doing right for more than 70 years."



    Offering low prices and a fresh look enhanced by the renovation of 100

Giant stores (scheduled for completion in the next two and a half years),

Giant will refocus its efforts on friendly customer service which has been

its mantra since its founding.



    In keeping with this theme, store associates will be among the first to

showcase the new logo and fresh new colors. In addition to outfitting

associates with new logo wear, Giant recently announced an associate

discount program which offers associates and their families five percent

off all store items and an additional five percent off store brands. Giant

is currently the only chain in the region that provides an associate

discount.



    "Our associates have and always will be the face of Giant," added

Michel. "We know that customers count on them. The discount shows our

commitment to them. We believe that happy associates will be more willing

to deliver a great shopping experience - making our customers happy."



    Beyond cosmetic changes, customers will soon have an opportunity to

sample a new range of fresh prepared foods and test a family friendly lane

- a tabloid-free, candy-free checkout aisle that offers healthy snack

alternatives such as yogurt, animal crackers and bottled water.



    In the future, customers will also be invited to sample new technology

designed to make shopping easier. Beyond self-checkout aisles, customers

will enjoy the following new features currently housed in several newly

remodeled stores:



    ORDER IT! - Our Delivision digital kiosk helps customers avoid lines at

the deli by allowing them to place their order digitally and continue

shopping. The system alerts customers when their order is ready.



    SCAN IT! - Our Easy Shop hand-held device allows customers to scan and

bag groceries while they shop.



    "This is the beginning of a journey," said Michel. "Giant customers

won't see changes overnight, but what they will see is a commitment to

thoughtfully and carefully introducing options that we know will simplify

their lives when they visit Their Giant. We look forward to their

feedback," Michel concluded.
