Giant Food goes big with mobile pharmacy shopping

Giant Food Stores is enabling customers to manage their prescriptions with a new mobile app.

Using the free Giant Pharmacy app, customers can request refills, transfer prescriptions and view prescription history. To sign into the app, customers need to create a unique account ID and password. App users must also provide a recent prescription number and the Giant pharmacy location it was filled when creating their account.

To ensure patient security, the customer will be contacted upon completion of registration at the phone number in their pharmacy profile to authenticate the account. In addition, the new app also features a health library of medical resources and information.

“We understand the changing needs of our customers to shop for their groceries whenever and however they want; it’s the same when it comes to managing their prescriptions,” said Leigh Shirley, director of pharmacy operations, Giant Food Stores. “Our new pharmacy app builds on our digital offerings and is a natural extension to help our busy customers request refills, transfer prescriptions and more with just a few simple clicks.”
