Giant’s Riverwalk flagship: What the food shopping experience can be

Ahold Delhaize invited Winsight Grocery Business to tour The Giant Company’s flagship Riverwalk store in Philadelphia. Though opened back in March 2021, the 65,000-square-foot, two-floor store remains a tour de force of how supermarkets can cater to today’s consumers seeking convenience, wide and deep selection, meal solutions, value and an engaging food shopping experience—and convey it all with astute merchandising.

Walmart to unveil $500M remodel of 117 stores

The upgrades are part of a two-year, $9 billion renovation of more than 1,400 Walmart locations. New features include larger online grocery pickup and delivery areas, more grab-and-go foods and checkout lanes, and much more.

The supermarket, about 50 miles northwest of Austin, Texas, has been open since 1976 and now features a number of new and expanded departments.

The 48,387-square-foot store is part of the retailer’s ongoing initiative to remodel and redesign existing Publix stores.

After a year of false starts, lawsuits and unanswered questions, Amazon Fresh redesigns two of its Chicago-area stores and offers delivery to non-Prime members.

The updated locations will reopen on Thursday and are part of an ongoing initiative to remodel and expand existing Aldi stores.

Upgrades include new decor, more grab-and-go items, self-checkout lanes, energy-efficient overhead LED lighting and refrigerated cases with doors.

The Louisiana grocer also named new VPs of advertising-marketing and center store.

The North Hills location, where renovations began in February 2021, now features expanded departments and new offerings, such as a flower bar and full-service meat counter.

The store, a former Kroger supermarket, will reopen on May 17.
