Giant Company’s online hub called Giant Direct is thriving as it launches a new store

The Giant Company’s online brand, Giant Direct, is flooded with demand and is overcapacity in the Philadelphia area.

Giant Direct will stock this automated store with essential grocery items like rotisserie chickens and frozen meals. The grocer can then tap southern New Jersey with this fulfilment centre.
