Giant to Open Convenience Stores

Carlisle, Pa. Giant Food Stores Inc. plans to open convenience stores with fueling stations in the Lancaster, Pa., area.

Customers will also be able to apply points from their gas awards card toward discounts.

The company said the convenience stores would act as a natural extension of Giant's success selling gas.

The company has two convenience stores planned in the Lancaster, Pa.-area. The first, which will be located in Manheim Township, is slated to open early this year.
