Free State Giant Celebrates Renovations with Tastings, Raffles

The revamped store features an updated Wi-Fi café, upgraded meat and seafood departments and more.

An larger produce section and an expanded natural and organic selection are just two of the upgrades Free State Giant Food customers will enjoy, now that renovations to the store are complete. 

In celebration of the newly revamped store, Giant will be offering raffles, tastings and more, as well as making a "significant" donation to the Bowie Interfaith Food Pantry.
