Love Blooms Once More in Giant-Landover’s Aisles

Since its two previous forays into fixing up single shoppers evidently went so well, Giant-Landover will hold its third annual “Valentine Date Night” on Saturday, Feb. 12 – two days before the actual date of the lovers’ holiday – at all 179 of the chain’s stores.

Taking place from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., the matchmaking event will include a Date Night Raffle every hour, cooking demonstrations, paper towel and coconut bowling for prizes, a Kid’s Corner cookie-decorating station, an ice cream float station, and a special “Lovers Lane Express Checkout” for Valentine’s Day purchases. Additionally, select stores will feature Sweet Street Fudge tastings.

A division of Ahold USA, Landover, Md.-based Giant Food LLC operates 179 supermarkets in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia, and employs about 22,000 associates. Included within the 179 stores are 163 full-service pharmacies.
