LANCASTER, Pa. --Turkey Hill Minit Markets has completed an agreement to acquire two Giant to Go convenience stores in Lancaster, Pa., from Giant Food Stores LLC.
Both of the nearly 4,100-square-foot properties—the supermarket chain’s only Giant to Go c-stores—will be rebranded as Turkey Hill.
Settlement on both properties is scheduled for the third week of September.
“This difficult decision to sell our two c-store locations to Turkey Hill is the result of an ongoing assessment of our store fleet and enables us to redirect resources back to our traditional grocery store locations,” Giant Foods spokesperson Samantha Krepps told CSP Daily News. "We are always evaluating our business operations to ensure we have the right mix of offerings in the right locations to serve our customers."
Outside, the enhanced product mix will include six fueling locations at the Oregon Pike store and four fueling locations at Fruitville Pike, with the addition of diesel at the Oregon Pike store.
Inside, it will include touch screen ordering of Turkey Hill's signature menu of fresh foodservice items including Built Your Way sandwiches, subs, pizza and other selections for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, as well as Turkey Hill's beverage and frozen product lines including fresh-brewed coffee and cappuccinos, fountain drinks and Slusheys and a wide selection of Turkey Hill ice cream, iced teas and drinks.
The stores will also enable customers to save on fuel with the Turkey Hill Rewards Card, including three-cents-per-gallon savings every day and opportunities to earn points on most purchases at Turkey Hill toward additional fuel savings.
The Fruitville Pike store will close briefly for renovation following the settlement and re-open a few days later, while the company said it expects the Oregon Pike property to re-open in November after remodeling of the interior and fuel service areas.
"We look forward to this exciting opportunity to serve customers with a new level of variety and convenience at these two locations when they re-open as Turkey Hill stores," said Turkey Hill spokesperson Kim Hertzog.
Founded in 1923 in Carlisle, Pa., Giant/Martin's operates nearly 200 grocery stores in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia, under the names of Giant Food Stores and Martin's Food Markets. It is a division of Ahold USA.
With corporate offices in Lancaster County, Pa., Turkey Hill has stores across the Keystone State, as well as an expanding presence in Ohio and Indiana. The chain of stores offers customers a wide range of products and services including gasoline, deli sandwiches, lottery tickets and gift cards. Turkey Hill is also the largest distributor of Turkey Hill Dairy milk, ice cream and iced tea.
Turkey Hill Minit Markets is one of five convenience-store divisions operated by The Kroger Co., Cincinnati.
