Giant Food announced Tuesday that its newest store at 5320 Zenith Overlook in Bethesda will open Friday. Hungry shoppers can stop at Ledo Pizza Corner Shoppe at the deli counter.
The 65,000 square feet store opens at 6 a.m. and also includes a pharmacy and Starbucks.
“We’re thrilled to introduce a new store to the Bethesda community, including our newest pharmacy, offering ample space, expansive departments, great value and plenty of services and conveniences to delight our customers,” said Ira Kress, Giant Food president.
Ledo’s crust and tomato sauce will be available in the deli, and customers can purchase a Take and Bake Ledo Pizza to warm up at home or order a hot, fresh one.
Several other Giant stores include a Ledo Pizza shop, including in Olney and White Oak.
“Food is a reflection of the communities in which we live. Unique restaurants like Ledo Pizza and Ben’s Chili Bowl are special, integral fixtures that truly provide a taste of home,” Kress said.
“We’re excited to celebrate the 13th Ledo Pizza Corner Shoppe location in the beautiful new Giant Food store in Bethesda,” said Jamie Beall, CEO of Ledo Pizza.
“Our customers have loved having a convenient way to pick up our iconic square pizzas on the go, and partnering with another iconic local brand like Giant Food has been the perfect way to expand our Ledo Pizza family.”
This store replaces the Giant at 5400 Westbard Ave. in Bethesda, which will shutter Thursday. The new location is close to the Giant it is replacing and will be in the Westbard Square development.
All staff members were given the opportunity to work at the new store.
