The best Giant in Bethesda - and possibly, anywhere - is celebrating its Grand Reopening at the Westwood Shopping Center, on Westbard Avenue.
You could win FREE groceries for a month, by playing the in-store treasure hunt game today and Sunday, between noon and 5:00 PM. It partly involves collecting a rubber stamp from each location where free food samples are being given away. Yesterday, it was not necessary to even take the sample - such as sliced tomatoes and cheese - because you stamp your own "treasure map." At the end, you find out if you are the winner. Alas, it just wasn't my day. But today could be yours!
There are other prizes, too, including free reusable bags and free bags of Giant brand products.
If you're a regular reader here, you've already seen my exclusive preview of the Westbard Giant's colossal new organic section. But other changes include the relocation of the Flower Shop to a spot near the entrance, and - regrettably - reduced space for books and toys. The freezer aisles have changed the location of TV dinner brands, but pizzas, Hot Pockets, etc., are still about or exactly the same, depending on the product.
I'm biased, because this is the Giant store I grew up going to. But it's still the best, in my opinion. This makeover was less drastic than the last, which was only about 5 years ago, if I recall correctly. Today's design is quite different from the older store, which had glass all across the front by the checkouts.
Stop by and check out the new Giant on Westbard Avenue, and it could be worth your while this weekend.
