Masons completed the concrete block perimeter wall construction and metal workers erected the roof supports and began installing roofing panels. The Giant food store’s website still lists completion of the store by the end of 2025. The supermarket’s parent, which was recently renamed the Giant Company, says the current 50,856-square-foot store at 2015 W. Emmaus Ave., will be replaced by the new 68,000-square-foot store at the South Mall, which will add new customer features. The Emmaus Avenue store opened approximately 35 years ago.
