The new store's opening festivities will start at 7:45 a.m. Friday with the Boiling Spring High School Marching Band.
The first 200 shoppers through the doors on Friday will receive a Giant reusable bag with a pack of Own Brand English Muffins. In addition, 500 customers will receive apple, cinnamon or strawberry Snacking Bites and Little Bite Chocolate Chip Pouches when they leave the store.
On April 9-10, an Own Brand Prize Patrol will hand out gift cards between noon and 4 p.m. to customers who buy Giant Own brand products.
The 51,800-square-foot store includes a Produce Marketplace, meat and seafood departments, deli, bakery and pharmacy. There are six EasyScan self-scanning checkout units.
