Giant Landover to Close Pharmacy Distribution Center

Giant Food LLC plans to shutter its pharmacy distribution center in Milford Mill, Md., next year, cutting 89 jobs, according to published reports.

Company spokesman Jamie Miller said that the job cuts will occur through mid-February, when the facility is slated to close. He added that 61 of the affected workers are part-timers, and that most will be able to secure positions at other Giant Food locations.

Landover, Md.-based Giant Food, an Ahold USA company, will expand its relationship with its pharmaceutical distributor, San Francisco-based McKesson Corp., which supplies stores directly.
