Giant is set to close five fulfillment centers in eastern Pennsylvania, three of which are in the Philadelphia region, including one in Chester County, writes Emma Dooling for the Philadelphia Business Journal.
The grocer plans to close its North Coventry facility, as well as sites in Philadelphia and Willow Grove, with all of the closures expected to be finalized by the end of the first quarter of 2026.
According to Ahold Delhaize, Giant’s parent company, the closures are part of a shift from centralized e-commerce fulfillment to in-store fulfillment operations. The company maintains over 70 stores throughout the Philadelphia region.
Giant and Ahold Delhaize have not yet revealed how many employees will be impacted by the North Coventry closure, with the required Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification still to be filed for the location.
The closure of the five eastern Pennsylvania fulfillment centers is anticipated to result in a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $35 million for Ahold Delhaize USA, according to company estimates.
