Giant Food Takes Action Against Shoplifting: Removes National Brands from Southeast DC Store Shelves
Giant Food will no longer stock national brands such as Tide detergent, Colgate toothpaste, and Advil at its Alabama Avenue store in Southeast DC due to rampant theft and crime in the area. The grocery store chain cited the unsustainability of carrying certain products and the need for increased security measures. Shoppers expressed disappointment but understood the decision, while Giant Food plans to continue operating in the area and will stock store brand or private label items instead.
