Giant Open Air

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Giant Open Air was a Norfolk, Virginia based supermarket chain, not to be confused with Giant Food. Its trademark stores were open 24 hours, and the entrance was framed with a giant arch reminiscent of the St. Louis Gateway Arch. In 1986, it merged [1] with Farm Fresh, another Hampton Roads grocery chain, and the name disappeared, though the giant arch still remains on the logo. It had a sister convenience store chain Tinee Giant; some of those locations remain in Hampton Roads[2]. In 1999, the wholesaler Supervalu purchased the company.
