Ahold Delhaize’s Giant Food and The Giant Co. have decided to close their centralized e-commerce fulfillment operations in Manassas, VA, and five fulfillment facilities in Pennsylvania.

Giant Food and The Giant Co. will continue to operate these facilities into early next year, with most closures occurring by the end of the first quarter 2026. The decisions to close these facilities were made after carefully considering customer trends and preferences for home delivery, where customers are increasingly expecting fast delivery, more assortment and delivery availability to meet their preferences. 

Over the past several years, Ahold Delhaize USA companies have transitioned to a local, store-first fulfillment network to offer greater customer availability at faster speeds. This strategy has been enabled by strong technology improvements and partnerships and team members who execute every day in stores.

Ahold Delhaize USA companies also noted that grocery delivery continues to remain an integral part of its brands’ omnichannel growth strategies, which provide customers with the flexibility to shop both in-store or online, anytime they want.

In addition to continuing to offer in-store fulfillment of customers’ e-commerce orders for both pick-up and delivery, Ahold Delhaize USA companies will continue relationships with third-party fulfillment partners like Instacart and DoorDash for delivery. Using this approach, each of the U.S. brands are positioned to deliver on customers’ expectations for quick pick-up and delivery options and, where possible, in as little as 30 minutes.

Associates affected by these decisions will be offered other positions within their respective company or have the opportunity to apply for open roles.
